Cities across the United States and in more than 20 countries marked Mahesh Navami, which was observed on June 4 this year, with official proclamations, cultural programs, and coordinated community events.
Mahesh Navami, also known as Vanshottpatti Divas, commemorates the Maheshwari community's origins, which can be traced back to a transition from a warrior tradition to a business-oriented path that was inspired by Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
In Texas, the City of Stafford and Fort Bend County officially declared Mahesh Navami Day. The proclamations were facilitated by Houston-based community leader Arun Mundra.
