About Us

A community of faith, service, and belonging

The Bharatha community traces its roots to Tamil-speaking Paravar people from Southern India, with a strong presence along Sri Lanka's western coast in Mannar, Negombo, and Colombo. Shaped by centuries of migration, Catholic faith, and coastal enterprise, the Negombo Bharatha Association — founded in 1937 — continues to unite families, preserve heritage, and serve society.
