Dibrugarh: Saptarang Cultural Society of Canada, a non-profit organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, was started by the Northeastern community in Canada and is dedicated to promoting the diverse cultural heritage of India within Canada.
Saptarang Cultural Society of Canada was formed to promote the artists of Northeast India.
“The North East represents one of India’s most vibrant cultural landscapes, yet its artistic expressions remain underrepresented on global platforms. SaptaRang was founded to bridge this gap by creating opportunities for Canadians, especially the younger generation of the Indian diaspora, to experience the music, dance, textiles, folklore, and culinary traditions of the region. Through festivals, cultural showcases, and collaborative performances, we aim to bring the stories and spirit of the North East to international audiences,” said Indrajit Guha, president of Saptarang Cultural Society.
Indrajit Guha hails from Assam’s Dibrugarh, and is now a citizen of Canada. His main aim is to promote the rich cultural traditions of the Northeast.
“We want to give a global platform to the artists of the Northeast to showcase their rich cultural traditions. The people of Canada love to see the cultural richness of Northeast India. We are very positive and eager to welcome the artists of Northeast India to Canada,” Indrajit Guha said.
He said, “We want to facilitate artist exchanges and cultural delegations from the Eight Sister States, promote classical, folk, and indigenous art forms unique to the Northeast, and organise joint festivals celebrating the cultural diversity of the region to encourage Northeastern participation in Canadian trade fairs.”
