Sewa Houston Fundraiser Thrills with Bollywood Musical Journey

Sewa International's Houston Chapter staged its annual fundraiser on May 15, 2026, at the Immanuel Mar Thoma Church auditorium in southwest Houston. The event showcased Bollywood's Musical Journey, a production by Pune-based Niche Entertainment featuring 100 songs spanning from 1913 to 2025 with live dancers and vocalists. Performers included Abhilasha Chellam, Jitendra Abhyankar, Chaitanya Kulkarni, and Malvika Dikshit, while the dancers Abhishek Havaragi, Rutuja Ingle, Ajay Kanase, and Riya Desai provided the choreography. Audience members enjoyed interval snacks by Mirch Masala, including samosas and wada-pav, as the show traversed a century of Bollywood hits. Sewa Houston notes several upcoming programs, such as the International Day of Yoga, a Yoga 5K on June 21, and Sewa Dancing Stars on August 29. September events include 9/11 days of service on the 12th and the Viksit Bharat Run on September 20 with the Consul General's office. The Houston chapter emphasizes continuing partnerships with community groups and volunteers as it expands programming to support Sewa's welfare initiatives. The fundraiser highlighted Sewa's mission to assist newcomers and underrepresented residents through education, healthcare access, and social services in the broader Houston area.
