About Us

They say any journey will begin with a foot step, like that SANGHAMs long journey begin with a small get together at Keesara. Kaka was the force behind that get together. He inspired the gathering with a thought provoking speech. He called upon the assembled community members not to limit the association to a single room instead expand it to have a building of its own. For that he encouraged members to have a piece of land.

After that active members of Sangham started collecting information regarding Padmashalis staying in neighborhood colonies. Association which started with a membership of 18 families, in 1992 at Srinivasa Nagar Colony, has now grown into a mighty organization consisting of more than 400 families. In the initial stages we used to have bi-monthly meetings in various colonies hosted by community members. We used to send the communication by writing post cards notifying venue and time. Executives in the formative years thought of a common holiday for all members and started hosting community lunch on 25th December every year at Sangham Land.

Executive committee members and other active members used to visit houses of all members and invite them for Sangham Lunch. Majority members used to attend annual community lunch with their families. Sangham could able to procure about 800 sq. yds. Land with contributions from members in 1995. Some members also purchased house sites in the same layout. After completing registration formalities the layout was named as MARKANDEYA NAGAR.
