Sharing Indian culture through educational, cultural, and social programs and activities

Our 2025 Navratri Celebration was a wonderful success!

On October 4th, over 500 people from across the region came together to honor Indian heritage and community spirit. We were thrilled to host this lively, family-friendly evening filled with festive music, delicious food, colorful attire, and joyful dancing.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible performers, Ritesh Rathod and Medley Entertainment, for bringing the night to life with a mix of traditional and Bollywood favorites. We are equally grateful to our food partners—Saffron Indian Kitchen and KOP Pizzeria—and to the dedicated staff at Upper Merion Area Middle School for their support.

Many guests shared that MLIA’s family-friendly Navratri Celebration is something their families look forward to each year. This year’s event, they said, beautifully captured the warmth, diversity, and vibrant spirit of our community. Watching people of all ages come together to dance and celebrate our shared traditions was inspiring.

Events like these take months of planning and rely on both volunteer dedication and financial support. If you enjoyed the celebration, please consider making a donation to MLIA here.
