In Hyderabad also there exists a similar organisation called as SIMA or the South Indian Maharashtrians Association. These associations provide for a meeting ground for this relatively small group of such "Marathi" speaking people down south to share their culture and also for finding matrimonial matches.

Maharashtra Mandal Bangalore, Karnataka

This mandal was formed way back in 1920. It has its own premises at Gandhinagar, a locality in the heart of Bangalore. At 10 minutes walking distance from the city railway station and bus stand, the central location makes it a convenient spot for Marathi-speaking people across Bangalore to get together for cultural events.

The biggest cultural event in a year is usually the "Ganeshotsav" which is celebrated over 10 days. On one of the Sundays during the ten days of festival, Mandal arranges "Mahaaprasad" which is generally preceded by a program by popular artists/ celebrities from Maharashtra. Mandal also brings out a special edition of its monthly bulletin "Sa Na Vi Vi" on this occasion. A one act play competition for local amateur Marathi theatre groups is also held during this ten days period.

Marathi Mandal,Sacramento Brief History

The Greater Sacramento area has had a reasonable number of Marathi-speaking families for quite some time. Our group is an initiative to bring them all together in a celebration of the Maharashtrian culture. We will achieve this by organizing regular activities and events that will reflect the spirit of our community. It will also be a platform for our new generations to understand and preserve our customs and traditions, and foster pride for our common language, culture and history. And while doing all of this, we also want to have fun in our togetherness!

The need for such forum for Marathi speaking families was recognized by Ajit Natu. He initiated the thought process amongst small number of Marathi speaking families about forming the mandal which has now become a reality.
