Ankur Events 2019 Update New! Program Schedule
Like the Young Sprout Unfolding touched by the First Dew drop in Spring, and growing into a huge tree, Ankur started from a small initiative, and has grown into a huge community bringing the Bengalis' of Sacramento and Northern California under it's shade.
However, we are not here to rest. We tirelessly engage in social, cultural, developmental,
and fun activities throughout the year.
We are today the Flag-Bearer of Bengali Community from "Epar and Opar" Bangla, recognized
by the local city administration, and a registered Non-Profit, under section A 501(c), with
tax advantage.
Want to know about our major events? Want to participate? Want to enjoy the Pujo,
Holi, Bangla Scool? Want to perform, or let your budding youngster take the stage? Want to
just chill with a bunch of amazing people, and dive on a gastronomic adventure? Here you
go... join us and attend some or all of the following activities, and all the events under
"event" section in menu.
