Namaskara!** We are Ujwal and Vandana, residents of Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, where we live with our two wonderful daughters, Aadhya and Aditi. Our journey began in the Belagavi District of Karnataka, where we both spent our early years before building our careers in the city of Bengaluru. In 2013, we moved to the United States, embracing new opportunities.
Being part of the Hoysala Kannada Sanga has connected us with fellow Kannadigas, helped us celebrate our language, and kept our cultural spirit alive across continents.
We’re excited to continue building friendships, sharing stories, and contributing to this vibrant community.
