Jayalakshimi and Raman as ardent supporters of the Western Australian community have contributed in many ways to developing an understanding of Indian culture, education and arts. Their 40 years in Western Australia has had a monumental impact on our community which includes pioneering Indian classical dance and music in Western Australia, promoting and supporting multiculturalism as founding members of the North Perth Ethnic Music Centre (later known as KULCHA), participating in countless fundraising events including Perth Children’s Hospital and Channel 7’s Telethon, developing emerging artists in both dance and music, facilitating workshops to promote a greater understanding of Indian art and culture, and supporting a diverse range of organisations and regional towns.
