Founded in 2007, the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA) is a non-profit organization uniting the Rajasthani community across Canada. We promote Rajasthan’s rich culture, art, and values while embracing the diversity and inclusiveness of Canadian life. Through cultural events, social programs, and support for new immigrants, RANA continues to strengthen community bonds and preserve the legacy of Rajasthan abroad.
Rajasthan, the largest state of India, lies in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent — a land where history, valor, and culture live in perfect harmony. Known as the Land of Kings (“Raj” meaning King, “Sthan” meaning Land), Rajasthan’s heritage dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization. From majestic forts and royal palaces to vibrant festivals and folk traditions, every corner of this land tells a story of courage, dignity, and artistic brilliance. On March 30, 1949, Rajasthan was officially formed through the unification of princely states under the guidance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Today, its timeless charm continues to inspire people around the world.
Living traditions that celebrate color, music, and life.
Timeless forts and palaces narrating royal stories.
Vibrant celebrations that unite hearts across generations.
Pride, courage, and unity rooted in royal legacy.
