Uniting Telugu Pottis across North America for over a decade
The North American Padmashali Association (NAPA) is a vibrant community organization dedicated to preserving and celebrating Telugu culture, traditions, and values among the Telugu diaspora living across North America.
Founded with the vision of keeping our rich heritage alive across generations and borders, NAPA brings together thousands of Telugu families each year through cultural events, community service, youth programs, and the landmark Annual Convention.
Our annual convention — now in its 13th year — has grown into one of the premier Telugu cultural gatherings in North America, spanning multiple days of festivities, devotional programs, community networking, and unforgettable performances.
From a small gathering of families to a convention of thousands — NAPA has been the heartbeat of the Telugu Pottis community in North America.
We work to keep Telugu traditions, language, arts, and customs alive and thriving in the next generation, no matter where our community lives.
We build bridges across chapters, cities, and generations — creating a strong, interconnected Telugu network that supports one another.
We invest in the future by creating platforms for Telugu youth to connect with their roots while excelling in their American journey.
