Our Origins – Where it all began…A brief look at how the Plessislaer Arya Samaj organisation was born
Plessislaer Arya Samaj was established on 30 June 1924, in Plessislaer Imbali. Due to the Group Areas Act, the entire community was relocated to Pietermaritzburg. The organisation although now relocated, retained its original name.
It was officially inaugurated in 1977 at 32 Madurai Road, Northdale, Pietermaritzburg where it currently stands.
