Welcome to House of Konakanis!

It’s a pleasure to welcome you to our community! Our goal is to bring together individuals who share a common love for our rich cultural heritage and to celebrate our traditions and values. As a member of our community, you will have the opportunity to meet new people, learn more about our diverse heritage and, moreover, be in a supportive and inclusive platform where you can voice your ideas and experiences with others. We are as strong as its members and your participation is our key to success. Let’s work together to build a thriving and lively community. 

 

Behind the scenes

 

Growing up, we encountered a lot of questions about our identity that normal Malayali kids might not have. “Who are you, a Malayali or a Konkani? “What is your origin?” “Why do you wear a poonool?” “Why do you have so many rituals during festivals?” “Does your language have a script?” “Why is your food so different?” etc. Despite not having all the answers, we have embraced the journey of discovering and exploring our Konkani heritage. The Konkani community is one of the most diverse ethnic groups in India and is spread across the world. Let it be culture, language, festivals, cuisine, Konkani’s are unique.

Hey there!

We, Anjali and Vivek, a Konkani couple based in Bangalore, are working to rekindle Konkani culture, traditions, and people through storytelling, discussions, and more. Here we are with our mission of bringing this community together through “House of Konkanis”
