A Legacy of Faith & Togetherness
SJGB began in 2012 as a small group of devotees near Abbai Naidu Studio in Bangalore — celebrating festivals with faith for 7 continuous years. The next generation in our group then carried the tradition forward, and from 2024 we rejoined together to make our utsav even bigger and grander. Today in 2026, we stand united as one balaga.
Devotion
Rooted in bhakti and spiritual dedication to Lord Ganesha and Sri Rama.
Community
United as one family — every member contributes to our collective celebrations.
Culture
Preserving and promoting our rich cultural heritage through festivals and programs.
Seva
Selfless service through annadanam, organizing events, and supporting the community.
The People Who Started It All
SJGB began in 2012 with a small group of devotees united by faith. These founding members laid the foundation — and today in 2026, old and new generations celebrate together.
After 7 years of continuous celebration, Ranjith stepped up to initiate SJGB's return — leading the next generation and keeping our traditions alive until we all came back together.
And Today, We Are Many
From a handful of friends in 2012 to a growing balaga today — core members reunited, next generation leading, and hundreds in our community celebrating every festival together.

Ganesha Chaturthi 2026
September 18 – 20, 2026·3 blessed days together
Three days of bhakti, laughter, and togetherness — our Ganesha Chaturthi 2026 utsav is complete. From sthapana to visarjan, every moment was filled with the grace of Vignaharta. Our balaga offered seva, shared annadanam, and celebrated as one family under His blessings.
To everyone who joined hands — youth, elders, volunteers, and families — thank you for making this utsav unforgettable. The celebrations may have ended, but the blessings stay with us. We now wait with joy for next year's Ganesha Chaturthi.

Celebrations That Unite Us
Two sacred festivals form the heart of our community — each celebrated with devotion, grandeur, and the warmth of togetherness.
Ganesha Chaturthi
Vinayaka Chaturthi
Our grandest celebration — elaborate Ganesha idol installation, daily aarti, cultural performances, annadanam, and visarjan procession with the entire community.
Rama Navami
Sri Rama Jayanti
A sacred observance featuring Rama puja, bhajan sessions, Ramayana parayana, prasad distribution, and spiritual gatherings honoring Maryada Purushottam.
From 2012 to Today
Three chapters of faith — started together, carried forward by the next generation, and reunited to make our celebrations even grander.
The Beginning
SJGB started near Abbai Naidu Studio with a small group of devotees united by faith. For 7 continuous years (2012–2018), we celebrated our festivals with devotion, culture, and community togetherness.
Next Generation Takes Over
The younger generation in our group stepped up and took the lead, carrying forward our traditions and keeping the celebrations alive through the years that followed.
Back Together — Bigger & Grander
We rejoined hands with the next generation to revive and scale our celebrations. From 2024 onward, SJGB stands stronger than ever — and here in 2026, we are preparing our grandest utsav yet.
