Tri-State Telugu Association

We’ve invited Telugu film stars, singers, literary scholars, and social activists from both the United States and India to foster cultural exchange. Our theme for TTA-2025 is to establish a platform where younger generations can connect with Indian culture and heritage, particularly by reintroducing Telugu Jana Pada—folk art—to Telugu children here.

We are also organizing various physical and mental activities, including badminton, volleyball, a 5K run, chess, and spelling bees, to promote a healthy lifestyle.

The Tri-State Telugu Association, founded in 1984, is a long-standing organization with four decades of commitment rooted deeply in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Our primary mission has always been to preserve, maintain, and perpetuate the rich heritage of Telugu people. In collaboration with various organizations, we’ve successfully hosted numerous workshops and sessions that have greatly benefited our community. We proudly operate as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
