AzGoshala had a very successful, Festival of Dance, Garba and Dandiya nights for Navaratri on Sept 28th and Oct 5th at Bogle Jr High School in Chandler. AzGoshala Navaratri was a unique event in the valley with ramp walk, Indian Jewelry, Indian Clothes, several vendors and restaurants serving exotic Indian, Indo-Chinese Veg Cuisine and awesome baklavas. This was celebrated both indoors as well as outdoors under the stars and all proceeds go towards cow protection. Our upcoming events are Festival of Kites, Sankranti, Sunday, Jan 12th and Festival of Colors, Holi, Sunday Mar 15th.
