We introduce **Maya**, an open-source Multilingual Multimodal model. 

1) A multilingual image-text pretraining dataset in eight languages, based on the LLaVA pretraining dataset;
2) A novel toxicity-free version across eight languages; and
3) A multilingual image-text 8B model supporting these languages, enhancing culture and linguistics.
