Welcome to the official Telugu Association of Montreal (TAM), the non-profit organization established for the benefit of all Telugu people across Quebec.

Our Culture

The Telugu people are known for their rich culture that includes a wide range of performing arts, drama, music, arts and crafts, and cuisine.


Our Language

Telugu (/ˈtɛlʊɡuː/;తెలుగు, Telugu pronunciation: [ˈteluɡu]) is a Dravidian language spoken by Telugu people predominantly living in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where it is also the official language.

Our People

Telugu people (Telugu: తెలుగువారు, romanized: Teluguvāru), or Telugus, or Telugu vaaru, are the largest of the four major Dravidian ethnolinguistic groups in terms of population. Telugus are native to the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and the Yanam district of Puducherry.

Yugadi (Ugadi)

Yugadi or Ugadi , also known as Samvatsarādi (lit. 'Beginning of the Year'), is New Year's Day for Telugu people. Every year, late March or early April, TAM conducts UGADI celebrations

Summer Picnic

We organize a summar picnic wherein many Telugu families in & around Montreal come and enjoy a fun time. Delicious potlucks, games for adults and childen are some of the wonderful things at this event.

Deepawali Celebrations

Diwali (English: /dɪˈwɑːliː/), Dewali, Divali, or Deepavali (IAST: dīpāvalī), also known as the Festival of Lights. TAM conducts this event in late October or early November

It is all about inclusion & togetherness

Both inclusion and togetherness are extraordinarily displayed in the picture taken at our Summer picnic. Many parents were visiting during this season, and having a well-organized picnic gave them much-needed familiarity. Our culture, our language, and our people are our pride.

Telugu Association of Montreal (well known as TAM) is a people-organized entity with a set of bylaws, guidelines, and self-governance to help promote everything Telugu-related in the region.

Feedback

Excellent feedback received after the Diwali 2024 event

TAM దీపావళి సంబరాలు *Programలో మేము పాల్గొనడం నాకు చాలా ఆనందం వేసింది. పిల్లలు చేసిన Dance లు పాటలు చాలా అద్భుతంగా ఉన్నాయి. పిల్లల్లో కాకుండా పెద్దవాళ్లు ఇంకా బాగా చేశారు👌 ముఖ్యంగా food super👍

Great Food: I usually don't pay attention to the food. This time I specifically liked the white plain rice, pappu, pachhadi, *pacchi-pulusu* and curds. Felt very homely. No need to go with fancy biryanis or some other flavored rice items.

Audience at Diwali-24
Free Parking: It was such a pleasant surprise to find out that Parking is FREE. I did not know. I actually inserted my credit card 3 times, and nothing happened. I just happened to lift my head and see the TAM Notice about free parking and even better park anywhere... even closer to auditorium instead of the farthest P7. I just checked the email that was sent on the day of event, bud did not see any mention any about FREE parking. Anyway, Thank you for your great idea and convincing Vanier college to allow you to do so. Hope you continue to do so in future also!
