Welcome
Maharashtra Mandal of Detroit is a non-profit community organization serving Michigan since May 1977. Our mission is to promote, preserve, cherish and perpetuate the socio-cultural values of Maharashtrian culture as also our history amongst all Maharashtrians in USA. To achieve this Maharashtra Mandal of Detroit organizes cultural, social, musical, and theater events related to traditional Maharashtrian culture programs such as Makar Sankrant, Gudhi Padava, Marathi Natak, Marathi Cinema, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Kojagiri, Sahal, and many more. We also encourage the participation from our children. The executive committee helps our youth committee to achieve this mission. For last several years, we have dedicated our Ganesh Chaturthi celebration event to the young generation. Additionally, our mandal organizes events for educational purposes. We invite an accomplished person from the field to talk about important topics like health, financial management, etc that matter in our day-to-day life. These educational events are free to our members. The mandal is run by an executive committee made up of several enthusiastic volunteers who dedicate their time and efforts for the well-being of the mandal.
We also intend to create a forum for participation of all Marathi folks to promote participation to contribute towards our uniqueness. Also in assimilation in the 'American Way of Life' yet preserving our Maharashtrian Personality.
If you have not joined our mandal family, I request you to join us. You will be glad that you did !!
Welcome !
