The Marathi association of Minnesota was established in with a view to build a community of Marathi people in a foreign land & help the new expatriots settle down easily. Now that many of our community members have 2 or 3 generations here, we also aim to maintain & increase the awareness of Marathi festivals & cultures in our community by hosting multiple events during the year.The association is a non-profit organization & is driven entirely by membership dues & any donations.
