Rajasthani Association New York / NJ
The East Coast USA chapter of the Global Alliance of Rajasthani Communities — serving the New York / New Jersey / Connecticut tri-state.
The Rajasthani diaspora's largest American home
The New York / New Jersey / Connecticut tri-state area is home to one of the largest Rajasthani and Marwari diaspora populations in the United States. Edison NJ, Jersey City, Jackson Heights, and Long Island are particularly deep concentrations — families running businesses, raising next-generation Americans, and keeping cultural roots alive across decades.
GARC New York / NJ is the East Coast chapter of the Global Alliance of Rajasthani Communities. We work alongside existing groups including the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA) and PARAM USA, bringing the global GARC network and the Government-of-Rajasthan link to the tri-state community.
From Diwali galas to Teej gatherings, business mixers to language classes for kids — there's a place for every Rajasthani family on the East Coast in GARC NY / NJ.
