OSUK 2026 – A True Reunion of Hearts

We are bringing together Odias, Punjabi, South Indians and British friends - in celebration, culture and shared spirit.

Led by Naari Shakti, with National and International participation, and a vibrant Punjabi flavour woven through the celebration.

Not just an event. A coming together. A remembrance. A revival.

Four Houses – One Spirit

Godavari House

Broadly representing London and the South & South-East of England – including surrounding towns and neighbouring regions

Madhusudan House

Representing the Midlands, Wales and the West of England — including Birmingham, Bristol and nearby counties.

Gopabandhu House

Representing Northwest England, Yorkshire, the North-East and Scotland — and surrounding areas.

Himmat Singh House

Representing participants from across the UK beyond defined zones, as well as National & International friends.

The Houses are symbolic — not strictly geographical.

Regions are loosely defined and inclusive.
You may join the House nearest to you,
where your friends are,
or where your heart feels connected.

Cross-entry is warmly welcomed.

Four Houses.
Healthy competition.
One community.
