Connecting Rajasthani Heritage with the Canadian Spirit

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.

Discover the Timeless Grandeur of Rajasthan

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.

परकोटे वाला शहर – Jaipur 🇮🇳
A city where every gate, fort, and palace tells a story of royal heritage, timeless architecture, and vibrant culture. ✨
From Hawa Mahal to Amer Fort — history lives here.”
Jag Mandir, Udaipur — a masterpiece rising from the waters of Lake Pichola. Built in the 17th century by the Sisodia Rajputs, this island palace has witnessed royal ceremonies, refuge to princes, and grand celebrations. More than just architecture, it stands as a living legacy of Rajasthan’s valor, artistry, and regal heritage.
Rana Canada is proud to celebrate the timeless legacy of Rajasthan and its royal heritage across the world.
✨ Happy New Year to our RANA Pariwar! ✨

These Aravalli hills
are not just landscapes —
they are our roots.
Every valley of Rajasthan
still lives in our hearts,
no matter how far we are.
Thousands of miles away… yet home feels this close. 🇮🇳🇨🇦
Jal Mahal isn’t just a monument — it’s a memory, a feeling, a piece of who we are.

For every Rajasthani living in Canada,
this palace in the middle of water reminds us of our roots, our culture, and our timeless pride.

“जळ रो बीच बिराज्यो जल महल, म्हारा राजस्थान री शान है।”
(Standing gracefully amidst the waters, Jal Mahal is the pride of Rajasthan.)

No distance can dull the pride of Rajasthan.
It travels with us — in our hearts, wherever we go. 💙
