It was another incredible year for Team Asha Atlanta! We had a team of 15 members who trained together for over 5 months to participate in Atlanta Marathon 2010, RocknRoll Marathon in Feb 2011. Team Asha Atlanta already raised over $10,000 by running the Atlanta Marathon and we are currently training for the Georgia ING Marathon (March 21).

Sanskriti 2009
A first of its kind for Asha Atlanta and 6 months of preparation! What a way to go with a SOLD OUT performance of Indian classical dance performed by The Deeksha School of Performing Arts. Looking on as chief guest was Mayor Bill Dunaway and family from Marietta. Cheorgraphed by Anupa Thakurta and performed by her students. Guest dancers included from Toronto the famous Kathak Maestro Hemant Panwar and Atlanta's very own Kalyani Kar. The show featured an eloquent rendition of Rabindranath's (Shakespeare of India) famous play Chitrangada. We thank the many sponsors and audience who helped raise over $18000 that incredible night.
