Founded in 2007, the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA) is a non-profit organization uniting the Rajasthani community across Canada. We promote Rajasthan’s rich culture, art, and values while embracing the diversity and inclusiveness of Canadian life. Through cultural events, social programs, and support for new immigrants, RANA continues to strengthen community bonds and preserve the legacy of Rajasthan abroad.
Rajasthan, the largest state of India, lies in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent — a land where history, valor, and culture live in perfect harmony. Known as the Land of Kings (“Raj” meaning King, “Sthan” meaning Land), Rajasthan’s heritage dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization. From majestic forts and royal palaces to vibrant festivals and folk traditions, every corner of this land tells a story of courage, dignity, and artistic brilliance. On March 30, 1949, Rajasthan was officially formed through the unification of princely states under the guidance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Today, its timeless charm continues to inspire people around the world.
Living traditions that celebrate color, music, and life.
Timeless forts and palaces narrating royal stories.
Vibrant celebrations that unite hearts across generations.
Pride, courage, and unity rooted in royal legacy.
Your membership is more than an affiliation — it is a commitment to preserving our shared heritage, supporting our community, and inspiring future generations. Join RANA today and become part of a legacy that celebrates Rajasthan, connects families, and builds a stronger tomorrow.

These Aravalli hills
are not just landscapes —
they are our roots.
Every valley of Rajasthan
still lives in our hearts,
no matter how far we are.
Some words don’t just speak - they feel like home. ❤️
These rare Rajasthani slangs carry warmth, emotion, and memories passed down through generations. Even while living in Canada, our language keeps us connected to our roots in Rajasthan. 🇮🇳🇨🇦
From “Tharo Kai Vichaar?” to “Ghano Achho”, these phrases are more than words, they’re culture, respect, and identity.

Thousands of miles away… yet home feels this close. 🇮🇳🇨🇦
Jal Mahal isn’t just a monument — it’s a memory, a feeling, a piece of who we are.
For every Rajasthani living in Canada,
this palace in the middle of water reminds us of our roots, our culture, and our timeless pride.
“जळ रो बीच बिराज्यो जल महल, म्हारा राजस्थान री शान है।”
(Standing gracefully amidst the waters, Jal Mahal is the pride of Rajasthan.)
No distance can dull the pride of Rajasthan.
It travels with us — in our hearts, wherever we go. 💙

From the rugged granite hills to the calm Jawai Bandh waters
Jawai is where Rajasthan’s wild heart truly beats.
A land where leopards roam freely, sunsets paint the sky gold, and every rock formation tells an ancient story.
🇮🇳✨ Proudly showcasing the beauty of Jawai, Rajasthan to our community here in Canada.
Because no matter where we go… Rajasthan lives in us.

“RANA is not just an organization — it’s an extended family. 🤝❤️
A home away from home for every Rajasthani living abroad.”
From our warriors to our culture, from our food to our traditions—
Rajasthan lives wherever its people live.
Grateful for leaders like D.P. Jain ji who keep the legacy alive.
