View detailsWho We Are
A community rooted in Kerala, blossoming in Norway
ARK — Association of Rogaland Keralites was born in 2009 out of a simple, powerful longing: a few Keralites wanting to share the warmth of home while building a new life beneath the northern skies. Today, we have grown into a vibrant family of hundreds of Malayalis across Stavanger, Sandnes, and the wider Rogaland region
From grand Onam feasts and festive stages to helping newcomers navigate their very first Norwegian winter, ARK is more than just an association—we are your home away from home.
