Vision

The Cultural Moment

India stands at a unique crossroads. While the world discovers Yoga, Ayurveda, and ancient Indian philosophy, many of our own children grow up disconnected from the profound richness of Indic culture.

Traditional artists struggle without patronage and ancient knowledge systems fade into obscurity. Young creators lack the support to explore their own civilizational heritage.

We like to think that within this challenge lies immense opportunity. A generation hungry for authentic identity. Artists eager to reimagine tradition. Scholars passionate about preservation.

We exist to bridge this gap—to create an ecosystem where Indic culture doesn't just survive, but thrives and evolves.

Our Vision

We envision an Indic creative ecosystem where:

Authors, scholars and artists find support to create world-class content rooted in our heritage
Children grow up with pride and knowledge of their civilizational legacy
Traditional knowledge systems like Ayurveda and Dhyana reach modern practitioners
Scholars and cultural custodians receive the recognition and support they deserve
Quality literature, art, and books become accessible to all

Our Mission

The Kailash Foundation is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and reimagining Indic culture for the digital age. We achieve this through:

Creating - Supporting artists, authors, and filmmakers to produce exceptional work
Educating - Running programs that connect people, especially youth, with their heritage
Preserving - Publishing and distributing important texts and knowledge
Sustaining - Providing vital support to cultural practitioners and scholars in need

Why Are We Doing this ?

Ask an Indian child today to name five Greek gods, and they'll rattle them off instantly. Ask them to name five figures from the Mahabharata beyond the obvious ones, and watch them struggle. They know Norse mythology from Marvel movies. They know Japanese culture from anime and American
