RadhaRaman Society mainly organises a yearly festival of Bengali folk music and dance called RadhaRaman Festival in the North of England (Leeds) since 2010.

It also organises a unique Baul and Vaishnav Music Festival every year since 2013 and International Dance Festival since 2019 in London.

This is purely a community art organisation that brings “the best of exotic rural music and other art forms of Bengal on to the world stage” (Yorkshire Evening Post). The organisation promotes the grandeur of Bengali colourful folk music and dance as serious art forms for young Bengali diaspora around the world as well as the audience from diverse cultural background across the globe through collaboration with other form of folk music and dances e.g. jazz, Irish dance etc.

RadhaRaman festival is being shaped as the main art festival of Harehills in Leeds and already considered now as the biggest Bengali cultural and art festival in the North which connected the audience from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Oldham, Bradford, Rochdale etc. on top of the local audience from mainly the east as well as other areas of Leeds.

The society propagates the glory of Bengali secular philosophy and deep humanism through folk music, dance and other collaborative art forms. It engages young people, socially excluded women, too, into the glorious cultural heritage of Bengal through highly connecting art activities and deliberately play a vital role to combat growing religious fanatics.
