UTSAV, established in 2020, is a dynamic, thriving, non for profit, non-political association that provides a socio cultural platform for Indians in the Canton of Vaud.  Utsav was an idea born out of a thought to celebrate the rich culture and heritage of India in Switzerland with a special focus on Eastern India in an inclusive manner. Today we enjoy doing many fun and engaging things as a community. We celebrate Indian festivals such as the Durga Puja and the Saraswati Puja. We organize day hikes, picnics and summer barbecues.
