Every second Saturday of the month, the Perth Chapter organises a gathering known as Mahamane. This event invites members, families, and guests to engage in discussions and debates surrounding the teachings of Basava Tatva and Sharana Parampare, exploring their relevance in today’s society. Each gathering sees different families taking turns to host dasoha, which involves the distribution of prasada. Our goal is to foster community participation, encourage lateral thinking, and strengthen peer support through this enriching activity.

The Perth Chapter proudly hosts a Monthly Kannada Shaale for kids during the Mahamane. This initiative provides children with a unique opportunity to learn about and appreciate their cultural heritage. By instilling pride in their cultural roots, we aim to preserve and promote the diverse traditions of the Indian community among the younger generation. Our dedicated teachers also volunteer to teach Kannada to kids in other organisations.
