Vahini was established in 1994 to promote Telugu literature, poetry, arts, culture, writing skills, expression and creative talents of people within the Community. In addition to the community updates, it publishes and disseminates stories, poems, drawings, cartoons, art and articles related to music, literature, performing arts, cultural festivals, crafts, philosophy, heritage, famous artists and art forms, contributed by local amateur writers as well as professional writers from overseas. This is used as a forum for the community to showcase their talent and interests relating to different aspects of Telugu culture and to instil a sense of identity and promote cultural enrichment.

Every month Telugu Vahini magazine brings 60-75 pages of valuable content with various sections that focus on community information, stories, poetry, classical music, children’s books, performing arts, comedy stories and literature.

It runs an annual literary festival titled ‘Telugu Vahini Sahithi Sadassu’, an iconic cultural event. It is a regular gathering of readers, writers, critics and scholars from local community as well as by overseas professionals distinguished in their cultural and art form. 

This year’s event organised online has participation by prominent guest speakers such as Bhuvana Chandra (famous lyricist and writer), Chitten Raju Vanguri (writer), Sarasvatula Sarasi (cartoonist) and 25 other scholars who shared their views and perspectives on a variety of topics from Telugu literature. This event was also witnessed by many around the world via social networking platforms.

Telugu Vahini is run by volunteers and has an editorial board which include editor, sub-editor and web admin with autonomy and editorial independence to ensure quality and integrity of the material published in it. This magazine is circulated to subscribed people within and outside Australia free of cost by e-mail and also published under Telugu Association Inc. website sydneytelugu.org.
