Celebrating Heritage, Building Community, Creating Legacy
The Gujarati Rajput Cultural Association of North America (GRCA) is a non-profit organization founded in 2019 and incorporated in Virginia, USA, with a powerful vision: to unite, celebrate, and preserve the vibrant culture and values of the Gujarati Rajput community across North America.
Rooted in tradition and driven by a progressive spirit, GRCA provides a strong platform for intergenerational engagement, encouraging youth and families to embrace their heritage while adapting to modern life. Our mission is not only to uphold the legacy of our forefathers but to create opportunities for cultural education, social unity, entrepreneurship, and spiritual growth.
GRCA was established for and by Gujarati Rajputs, and it continues to thrive thanks to the tireless efforts of our founding families and the unwavering support of our members across the continent. Today, GRCA stands as a growing and inclusive network of Rajput individuals and families committed to strengthening community ties and building meaningful connections.
Through a wide range of social, cultural, educational, and charitable programs, GRCA fosters a sense of belonging and pride. Our biennial Family and Youth Conventions have become a cornerstone event—bringing together hundreds of families to celebrate our heritage, traditions, and shared values.
Our community is enriched by entrepreneurs, professionals, students, and volunteers who contribute their talents and passion to create a vibrant cultural legacy for the next generation. We also maintain close ties with Rajput organizations across the globe to promote a spirit of global unity and mutual growth.
At GRCA, we believe that culture shapes identity, and that strong roots lead to strong futures. Whether it’s through cultural festivals, youth programs, mentorship, charitable outreach, or spiritual enrichment, we aim to inspire every Gujarati Rajput to honor their past, contribute to the present, and lead with pride into the future.
Join us in this journey—preserving tradition, empowering generations, and building community together.
