South Asians in the Bay Area have many reasons to celebrate. Activities throughout this summer highlight South Asian culture, Indian pride, and representation in local government. Siliconeer presents glimpses of South Asian culture and arts being celebrated throughout the Bay Area.

Dadi Pariwar USA celebrated Rajasthani deities at their annual anniversary celebrations at the Sunnyvale Hindu Temple. This is Dadi Pariwar’s 11th “Sthapna.”

Local artists Alka Bhatnagar, Anuj Latta, Priyanka Singh, and Gopal Agarwal sang a melodic lineup of bhajans. Rajasthani youth also performed cultural dances and a flute performance. The vibrance and energy was all too evident with attendees dressed in bright Rajasthani attire dancing to the bhajans.
