Sanskriti's History

SANSKRITI is a cultural and educational community facing non-profit organization launched in Milpitas, California on August 1, 1998. It started with a fund raising annual festival and Durga Puja celebration in its first year. Sanskriti has never looked back but has steadily kept on growing and expanding to include members from our diverse Indian subcontinent. Today, in addition to hosting a mega annual festival, it can boast of another pioneering effort – a one day Drama Festival (Natya Mela) in California which has been gaining momentum and wide acceptance from the patrons in and around the Bay Area.

Sanskriti has no annual membership fees and anyone can get involved, support and be a part of the ongoing activities and events. The only pre-requisite is motivation and commitment, which will help the organization achieve its mission and objectives. Our volunteers would also be a part of Sanskriti’s efforts to generate revenue through corporate sponsorships, donations (tax-deductible), advertisements for the magazine, and helping with the fund raising events.

Sanskriti prides itself in being an organization that welcomes everyone into its fold and believes in growing with the community and their support.
