Arohan Sydney is a registered not-for-profit cultural organisation, born from the shared dream of a few Bengali families in Sydney who wished to keep their traditions alive while building a vibrant, inclusive community far from home.

Founded in 2021, Arohan has grown into a trusted platform that celebrates the richness of Bengali culture — not only through grand festivals like Durga Puja but also through events that foster connection, creativity, and compassion.

What began as heartfelt conversations between families has blossomed into a dynamic organisation. In 2022, Arohan Sydney hosted its first-ever Durga Puja — a landmark event filled with devotion, colour, and community warmth.

From that moment on, we’ve continued to grow — welcoming more members, volunteers, artists, and supporters into the Arohan family.

To create a cultural home away from home, where traditions are celebrated, generations are connected, and diversity is embraced.

  • Celebrate Bengali festivals with inclusivity and authenticity
  • Support social and charitable initiatives that give back
  • Foster cultural education and participation among youth
  • Build long-lasting connections through shared values and events

Arohan organises several events throughout the year including:

  • Durga Puja – Our flagship annual celebration since 2022
  • Saraswati Puja – Honouring knowledge, music, and creativity
  • Sharodiya Mela – A celebration of art, food, fashion, and joy
  • Blood Donation Drive (2024) – In collaboration with Red Cross
  • Arohan United Football Match (2024) – A community bonding day
  • Annual Picnic – A fun-filled outdoor family event
  • Bijoya Sammelan – Cultural performances and post-puja celebration

Our events bring people together — across generations, backgrounds, and languages — to share in the joy, colour, and unity of Bengali culture.

In a global city like Sydney, we believe in celebrating diversity while nurturing our roots. Through Arohan, we honour where we come from, and build where we are going — together.
