India Center of Westchester, located in Hawthorne, NY, is a secular, non-profit organization which seeks to promote and preserve the rich, diverse and vast cultural heritage of India, while providing essential services to its hyphenated community, both in its regional and its mainstream aspects. The richness of India’s diversity brings varied colors and flavors to its regional facets and India Center seeks to be present and performing for every branch of its diverse family and to represent the face of India in its breathtaking totality. The Center opens its doors wide for everyone within the community and beyond, irrespective of their racial, ethnic, religious, political or socio-economic backgrounds. In fact, it is proud to serve everybody with any interest in Indian culture and to be a bridge to India by helping create awareness and understanding of its ageless traditions. In order to achieve these goals, India Center has launched a plethora of activities at its premises in Hawthorne, ranging from instruction in language, music, dance, art or any other subject to a support system for new immigrants and seniors for all its members. It has evolved, over the last fifteen years since its first physical presence, and has become the cultural hub for our thriving Indian community in the Westchester area.
