In the Summer of 1981, in response to a call from Mr. Vijay Rawtani, several members of the Indian community gathered at the student center at Memphis State University (Now University of Memphis). Everyone expressed their ideas, wishes, wants and needs for a common gathering place. Soon it was apparent that the community needed a place to meet for its spiritual, social, and recreational needs, a place we all could call ours with pride, a place that gives us identity and reminds out progeny of their glorious heritage.
From this gathering, a few souls with vision, courage and determination emerged as leaders. To give this noble idea a form and direction, these leaders, after many lengthy discussions, decided to form an autonomous, non-profit, tax-exempt, religious corporation. Mr. Marvin Ratner, a well respected and prominent attorney, at the request of Prasad Duggirala, kindly donated his time and expertise to frame the constitution and bylaws and helped to incorporate the organization into the state of Tennessee. Thus in 1982, India Cultural Center and Temple Inc. is officially born with its charter bearing the signatures of the founding members: Kothapa N. Chetty, Prasad Duggirala, A.P. Mahesh Kumar, N.V. Raghavaiah, Vijay Rawtani and Jamnu Tahiliani. Dr. Kumar was appointed as the registered agent to the corporation.
The India Cultural Center and Temple Inc. has been fortunate to have many distinguished individuals server as its Presidents. They came from different backgrounds and different parts of Mother India, each bringing a new perspective and determination to further the cause in their own way, leaving an indelible imprint on the organization.
