Welcome to BARI! The Bengali Association of Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts (BARI) is the oldest organization of Bengalees in Rhode Island. The word ‘bari’ means home in Bangla and this organization strives to be a home away from home for all its members. BARI is also deeply committed to fostering connections and building bridges between the Bengali community and the wider population of New England. By organizing cultural events like Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, Bijoya and Poila Boishakh, BARI hopes to celebrate Bengali culture. Come join us in this celebration!
