Ankur - we are a Bengali Cultural Association serving Sacramento metropoliton area.
ANKUR came together as a dream of a handful of visionaries to promote Bengali culture, tradition and art in the Sacramento region. Today we are all working together to fulfill and celebrate the various facets of Bengali culture. In doing so, Ankur encourages participation from one and all and provides a common platform for everyone to engage in social and cultural activities. Ankur organizes cultural events throughout the year and also hosts musical programs performed by artists visiting from India.
Another purpose of the organization is social service, especially for the underserved minority population. Ankur also runs regular Bangla School imparting cultural education to all interested members. Along with the Bengali language children are also taught music and dance.
Ankur is firm in its resolve to attain maximum possible community outreach. While it has a number of programs on its cards, the most recent venture was participation by its members to plant native grasses at El Manto, Rancho Cordova along the 23-mile American River Parkway. This was Ankur's way to contribute to the environmental needs of restoring areas affected by severe summer wildfires, as a part of the “Martin Luther King Day of Service Projects” on January 18th, 2014.
