Support the association
Donate
AAB has no paid staff and no endowment. What it does is paid for by its members, its sponsors, and people who give because they want the Puja to happen.
Where it goes
What a donation pays for
The bhog, every day of the Puja
Served free to everyone who comes, cooked by cooks brought from Assam. Nobody is asked for a pass.
Durgapatra Abhiyan
Lunch for underprivileged children in Bengaluru, during the Puja, every year since 2024.
The classes
Assamese language, dance and cooking, taught by members, free to members' children.
Relief, when Assam needs it
In 2019 the association ran flood relief out of Bengaluru. It has no standing budget for this — donations are what make it possible to move quickly.
Optional offerings
