Triangle Gujarati Association

Triangle Gujarati Association (TGA) is a registered tax-exempt non-profit organization, created in 1988, to serve the Gujarati community in the Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill area of North Carolina.

Triangle Gujarati Association (TGA) is a registered tax-exempt non-profit organization, created in 1988, to serve the Gujarati community in the Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. The goal of the organization is to promote and maintain the identity of Gujarati Culture and preserve our heritage. However, the Gujaratis in the Triangle area were already enjoying the programs such as Holi, picnic, and Diwali a long before that

During the early 80¹s, the cultural programs were organized at one of the Wake County community centers. The Holi program at that time consisted of a very short cultural program followed by Dandia-Raas with music on cassette tape. As the Gujarati community grew, the location changed from the small community centers to Jordan Hall in Cary. Also, the length of the programs as well as number of participants increased.

At present, our Gujarati community has grown much larger, and we have moved again from Jordan Hall to Hindu Bhavan and Cary Community Center. The TGA organizes several programs during the year. The year starts with the Holi program, which is attended by approximately 500-600 Gujaratis.

100+ children and adults demonstrate their talents during the Holi cultural program. Also, over 1,000 people participate in the Navaratri and Sharad Purnima programs with live music. In addition to the regular programs such as Holi, Navaratri, Diwali, and the picnic, the TGA also invites artists from India for plays and musical programs.

TGA also has a Youth organization called TGA Youth Group. TGA Youth Group has their committee as well as TGA liaison. They organize several events such as Ski trip, Lock-In, Beach trip, Youth Semi-Formal during the year. In addition, our youth group also gets involved in several community service programs such as March of Dimes and Adopt-a-highway.

All of these programs have become successful due to the support from our Gujarati community in the Triangle area. We hope that the same support will continue for a long time to come. Please come forward and take active participation in your organization.
