Utsav, the Sanskrit word meaning 'Festival', was started in 1991 by a handful of South Asian students.

Now in its 17th year, Utsav has grown into a large community of over 150 South Asian students; and continues to strive to provide the South Asian community with a sense of belonging and knowledge about South Asian culture and heritage.

We represent students from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Although we represent these 6 countries, we would like to stress that ANYONE can become a member of Utsav.

You do not have to be of South Asian descent to learn about the culture and traditions of South Asia.

We urge EVERYONE to come check out our meetings as well as our events, who knows, we may surprise you.
