Reviving Culture - Empowering Shakti The Swagathon Story
Rarely do we witness a group of Indian -American women boldly taking action for Hindu causes that deeply resonate with the core of the culture. In a groundbreaking initiative, these women chose the saree, a garment worn by a majority of Indian women and a symbolic representation of Hindu heritage, as the focal point for their movement of expression. Together, they established "Swagathon" - the Heritage Saree Walk.
The inaugural Swagathon took place at Morrisville Park, marking the beginning of a significant movement. The overwhelming success of the event catapulted it into becoming a pivotal gathering across the United States, serving as a cornerstone for mobilizing support for Hindu causes. The Heritage Saree Walk has emerged as a powerful platform, bringing people together to advocate, celebrate, and contribute to the preservation of Hindu culture.
