Keeping Tamil language, arts & community alive in Rhode Island
RITS brings together Tamil families across Rhode Island to celebrate our language, culture, and festivals — and to pass that heritage on to the next generation.
யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்
"Every place is my home; everyone is my kin." — a founding spirit of openness that RITS carries into every gathering.
