When tradition meets a noble cause, the result is nothing short of magical. This year, Sankara Eye Foundation (SEF) is bringing you an evening of rhythm, color, and celebration at SEF Dandia 2025. Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 4th, from 7:30 PM to midnight at the Santa Clara Convention Center, 5001 Great America Parkway, Santa Clara, CA 95054.

This isn’t just another cultural night—it’s a celebration with a purpose. Every step you take on the dance floor will help someone take a step towards regaining their eyesight. Proceeds from this event go towards bringing vision to those in need, making your night of fun also a night of giving.

Learn, Dance, Celebrate

For those who want to brush up their moves before hitting the dance floor, free Dandiya lessons will be organized from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or a first-timer, you’ll be ready to join the vibrant circles of dancers that define the spirit of Garba and Dandiya nights.

Dandiya sticks will be available for purchase at the venue, and there’s also free check-in for your own sticks, ensuring that you can dance with ease throughout the night.

Event Highlights That Shine

The evening is packed with music, energy, and nonstop celebration.

Artistes – Get ready to be dazzled by the incredible duo Preetysha Anjan & Sameer, accompanied by the electrifying Shree Shakti troupe. Their live performances will create an atmosphere that keeps your feet tapping and your heart racing.

Music Like Never Before – The spotlight of the night falls on Sameer, a multi-faceted talent who is widely recognized as the Junior A.R. Rahman of California. His versatility is unmatched—whether as a Music Composer, Arranger, Programmer, Keyboardist, Guitarist, Male Vocalist, or Recording Engineer. With such diverse talent, Sameer promises an unforgettable musical journey that will strike a chord with every music lover in attendance.

A Night for a Noble Cause

What makes SEF Dandia 2025 stand apart from the many festive gatherings this season is the mission behind it. Organized by the Sankara Eye Foundation, the event supports efforts to eradicate curable blindness by providing free eye surgeries to those who cannot afford them.
