A SoCal Navratri Tradition

For 16 years, the Sargam Group of SoCal has brought Southern California's Gujarati and Indian community together for one of the region's largest Raas Garba celebrations. Each October, over 1,500 dancers per night fill the Soka University Gymnasium for an evening of live traditional music, dandiya and garba dancing, and multi-generational community celebration — all in a safe, welcoming, family-friendly setting.

As a 100% volunteer-run organization, every dollar raised goes directly back into producing affordable, high-quality cultural programming for our community — not overhead.
