OUR STORY

The Indian Cultural Association is a dynamic nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering understanding and cultural exchange between the people living in Maryland.

Our Mission

At ICA, we bridge cultures and build connections. Our team is dedicated to promoting and preserving Indian culture in the United States. We come from different backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience and expertise to our work. Come join us in celebrating the diversity and richness of Indian heritage.

Our Partnerships

We are proud to collaborate with institutions, government agencies, and cultural organizations in the area. These partnerships enable us to provide rich, authentic experiences for our patrons and further our mission of cultural understanding and preservation.

SEVA is a big part of Indian culture. 'SEVA' in Hindi means selfless service to others without expecting anything in return. We see the divine in every being.
