The Handful of Bengalis of St. Louis was holding events since early 1980’s. As the number of families and events started to grow, the nonprofit organization PUNASCHA was incorporated and formalized in 1987. The name was inspired from Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s literary work. PUNASCHA loosely translated means “repeat or new dimension”. We picked the name to signify the continuance of celebration of our heritage and traditions in our new home, St. Louis.
