Indian Culture Classes for Kids in Portland
Indian culture, explained rather than just observed
Children take part in festivals every year without ever being told what they are doing. They light lamps at Diwali, tie a rakhi, eat during Sankranti, and nobody explains the reason because everyone assumes they absorbed it. This class is the explanation — festival by festival, custom by custom, with the story and the reasoning behind each.

Indian culture, explained rather than just observed
Our epics classes go deep into one text over a year. This one goes wide: the festival calendar, the reason behind everyday customs, regional differences, the food, the art, the why. It is the right starting point for a child, often an NRI child, who is curious about all of it and does not know where to begin.
Indian families around Portland are concentrated on the west side, in Hillsboro and Beaverton, where the semiconductor industry drew engineers from the 1990s onward. The community is close-knit but small, and it is common for one family to know every other family with children of the same age.

“The Ramayana classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week. She now teaches us the values she learns. As NRI parents in Dubai, this connection to our culture is priceless.”
