In the
Kolhapur, the city of "Goddess Mahalaxmi", there are
about 600 families of Sindhis [population of more than
10,000], most of them are shifted from the Gandhinagar.
Majority of the Sindhis have their residence in the
Tarabai Park, Ruikar Colony & Rajarampuri areas of the
city. Sindhis at Kolhapur city are closely related with
Gandhinagar Sindhis though they have separate social
association called Kolhapur Sindhi Samaj. Beside being
involved in the programs of the Sindhi community at
Gandhinagar Kolhapur, Kolhapur Sindhi Samaj is also
arranging their own programs of social welfare. Guru
Nanak Jayanti and Cheti Chandu [Sindhi New Year] are
most celebrated festivals.
Recently Kolhapur Sindhi Samaj has arranged a cultural
program based on Sindhi Music and dance, titled "Sindhi Rock N Sindhi Pop" to make the
younger generation aware about the rich cultural and
social heritage hold by the sindhi community.
