About
Bihar Jharkhand Sabha Melbourne (BJSM) was established by passionate members of the Bihari and Jharkhandi diaspora in Australia to preserve and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Bihar and Jharkhand. Founded on the principles of unity, cultural preservation, and community service, BJSM has grown into a vibrant organization that serves as a cultural anchor for families from these regions who have made Australia their home. The Sabha honors the traditions, languages, festivals, and values of Bihar and Jharkhand while fostering a sense of belonging among Indian expats navigating life in a new country. BJSM offers a comprehensive range of cultural and community programmes designed to keep traditions alive across generations. The organization hosts cultural events celebrating festivals such as Chhath Puja, Sarhul, and other regional celebrations, alongside language classes, traditional music and dance workshops, and networking gatherings. BJSM facilitates community support initiatives, helping new arrivals settle in Melbourne and connect with fellow Biharis and Jharkhandis. The Sabha also maintains a directory of member-run businesses across Australia and New Zealand, promoting economic collaboration and mutual support within the community. For Indian expat families from Bihar and Jharkhand living in Melbourne and across Australia, BJSM represents more than a cultural organization — it is a home away from home where the warmth of regional identity thrives. The Sabha creates spaces where children learn their mother tongue, where families celebrate festivals together, and where the spirit of Bihari and Jharkhandi hospitality flourishes. Through friendship, respect, and shared cultural pride, BJSM strengthens the bonds that connect thousands of community members, ensuring that the heritage of Bihar and Jharkhand continues to enrich the multicultural fabric of Australia.
