The Bihar Jharkhand Association of North America (BJANA) invites you to a grand celebration of our shared heritage and vibrant culture. As a cornerstone for the diaspora from Bihar and Jharkhand, our events serve as a premier platform for families, professionals, and youth to reconnect, network, and honor the rich traditions of our homeland. Throughout the year, our calendar reflects the full rhythm of this heritage — from the hope and renewal of Makar Sankranti to the color and joy of Holi, from a warm Summer Picnic among community to the devotion of Hartalika Teej. As the seasons turn, we come together for the sacred observances of Chhath Puja and close the year in celebration with our radiant Diwali Party. Each gathering offers a meaningful opportunity to preserve our traditions, strengthen our community bonds, and pass on the spirit of Bihar and Jharkhand to the next generation.
