What began as a vision shared by a few friends has blossomed into a strong association with 12-14 families in the Greater Tulsa area, all working together to carry forward the legacy of our founding families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our current BAGT team continues this legacy, bringing a taste of Bengali culture to the land of Lincoln and MLK. As immigrant Bengalis, we cherish our cultural heritage and strive to enrich future generations with it. Our dreams include expanding BAGT to host more events and programs that celebrate Bengali literature, art, cuisine, and the rich tapestry of traditions and festivals from our homeland. We invite more people to join us in achieving these collective goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">BAGT is \u201c\u09b7\u09cb\u09b2\u09cb\u0986\u09a8\u09be \u09ac\u09be\u0999\u09be\u09b2\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09be\u09a8\u09be\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">!! \u09ac\u09b8\u09c1\u09a7\u09c8\u09ac \u0995\u09c1\u099f\u09c1\u09ae\u09cd\u09ac\u0995\u09ae\u09cd<\/mark><\/strong><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">!!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded wp-duotone-unset-2\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1121\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/bagt-ok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Prothom-Pujo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7171\" style=\"width:500px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bagt-ok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Prothom-Pujo.jpg 1121w, https:\/\/bagt-ok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Prothom-Pujo-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bagt-ok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Prothom-Pujo-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bagt-ok.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Prothom-Pujo-768x506.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1121px) 100vw, 1121px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">1983 Durga Puja<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us The Current Team!
