GRAMAM (Greater Richmond Association of Malayalees), a South Indian cultural organization, came into existence in January 2005 to support Malayalee families residing in Richmond, Virginia, and neighboring cities. Our values and traditions are derived from the rich heritage of Kerala, a South Indian state also known as God's Own Country. We have more than 300 families associated with us, and the number continues to grow. GRAMAM members elect an Executive Committee annually, and the committee organizes many events for children, youth, and people of all ages. One of our prominent celebrations is Onam, which includes a homemade sumptuous Onam meal (ona sadhya) celebrated with the full spirit of our harvest festival. We welcome you to our dynamic community.
