Our family has been involved with communities, and fine arts societies throughout the USA and Canada since 1972 with the main object of propagating Indian classical dance and music amongst the current and next generations. I started a non-profit organization called AAHAARYA INC, to promote classical forms of dance and music among the youths, and deeply involved in spreading, organizing, and coordinating fine art and culture for more than three decades.
