Asha Utsav 2006

An evening of popular Indian Music by Gandhar

Indian dances from Youth Group


Asha Utsav is the annual fundraiser of Asha Princeton, the Princeton chapter of Asha for Education. This year we bring to you an evening of popular Indian music, song and dance to celebrate the arrival of spring. Featuring performances by Gandhar and group-dances by over 100 young artists.

Asha for Education is a zero overhead organization; we do not use any part of donations to cover administrative expenses. This means 100% of all donated funds go directly to educate underprivileged children in India.
