Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
Almost 15 years ago, Chourongee was formed by a handful of Bengalis in Utah to be their organizational base. Post its dissolution , and since the inception of Ulhaas, we are now a strong community of over 150 members. A Durga Pujo that was celebrated over only half a day is now a 3-day extravaganza.

For Bengalis worldwide, it is “that” time of the year again. Maa ashchen! Covid-19 had put a damper on the 2020 celebrations, and 2021 was celebrated with caution, with some face-to-face and some online components. This year, Ulhaas has the wheels rolling for a grand celebration. The organization hopes to bring together the entire community to celebrate this auspicious event, give a sense of belonging to members far away from their homeland, and an opportunity to the little ones to learn about their rich heritage. To this end, Ulhaas has started with a bang with the Annual AGM, followed by the Rabindra-Nazrul Jayanti, Summer Picnic and Mahalaya, and after celebrating Durga Pujo, will continue on to Lakshmi Pujo, Kali Pujo, Winter Holiday Party and Saraswati Pujo.

In addition to the fun and frolic, the camaraderie, and the religious aspects, these events act as a cultural platform - from visiting guest artists from India to guest artists from non-Bengali/non-Indian communities, to our very own members – such gifted and skilled talent! The little ones start young with recitals, dance performances, and varied other stage acts.
