            “Mangala Nidhi” roughly translates to “auspicious welfare” in Sanskrit. It is a great way to involve your family and friends in financially contributing to our organization’s work during your family events. It is inspired by the Hindu ethos of sharing our life’s joyous and auspicious moments with society, and a practical medium to channel our personal and family happiness towards community and social responsibility.
