About GARC Sydney

Sydney's Rajasthani community — connected to the world

Sydney is home to one of Australia's largest Indian diaspora populations, including a deep and growing Rajasthani and Marwari community — families from Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Bikaner, Kota, Sikar, and across Rajasthan. Many concentrate in Parramatta, the Hills District, Liverpool, Blacktown, and Sydney's north and west.

GARC Sydney is the New South Wales chapter of the Global Alliance of Rajasthani Communities. We work alongside existing Sydney Rajasthani groups — including RANI (Rajasthan Association of NSW) — to bring the global GARC network, programmes, and Government-of-Rajasthan link to the Sydney community.

Whether you're a recent arrival, a long-settled family, or a student finding your community for the first time — GARC Sydney is your home base.
