weOriyas.org : Welcome to our vibrant Odia community in Greater Sacramento and surrounding areas! We are a group of like-minded individuals who come together to celebrate our culture, traditions, and festivals while fostering meaningful relationships. Our community is entirely volunteers-driven, with no affiliation to any non-profit organization—just a gathering of people who share a common heritage and a love for togetherness.
Our Mission
Our primary goal is to create a welcoming space where Odia families and individuals can network, socialize, and strengthen personal bonds. Whether it’s celebrating traditional festivals, organizing cultural events, or simply enjoying a friendly get-together, we believe in fostering a strong sense of belonging.
What We Do
Cultural Gatherings: Celebrate major Odia festivals such as Ganesh Puja, Saraswati Puja, and more.
Social Events: Picnics, potlucks, camping, new year evening party and community meetups to create lifelong friendships.
Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow Oriyas for personal and professional growth.
Family-Friendly Environment: A respectful and inclusive space where everyone feels valued
Our Values
We believe in respect, inclusivity, and harmony. While discussions and diverse viewpoints are welcome, we encourage a positive and supportive environment with no major arguments or conflicts.
