🏛️ Sanhoti Bengali Association — History & Background
Sanhoti — Bengali for “solidarity” — is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2025 to serve the Bengali community of Orange County, California. In its first year it outgrew its original venue for Durga Puja and moved to a larger one. Beyond its cultural celebrations (Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, Poila Boishakh), Sanhoti has been notable for pairing its growth with charitable work, including fielding a team for a local food bank walk and organizing fundraisers for a domestic violence support nonprofit — unusually fast civic engagement for an organization only in its first two years.

🗓️ Durga Puja 2026 Dates
