Heritage, a non-profit registered trust has been actively involved since 1994 in the promotion, preservation and dissemination of our heritage and culture through seminars, workshops and cultural festivals.

Over the last decade or more increased mobility, access to information and globalisation has resulted in apparent progress and increased opportunity but has also brought some problems in its wake like the loss of history, culture, ecology, roots, traditional arts, folk arts and language This has led to a slow decline of cultural values that were holistic and inclusive regarding the ecology and environment as one’s heritage.

Heritage activities are innovative and holistic in their approach bringing forward time tested wisdom to enhance the quality of life today. The resource person for any Heritage activity comes from the best of scholars, artists, academicians, naturalists and others. All activities are tailor made to suit the target group and there has been a constant endeavour to make heritage events youth friendly and reach out to the common man.

Heritage conducts an annual festival that is thematic and has two sections, Gudiya Sambhrama – The Bengaluru Temple Festival, the cultural section and “Srishti Sambhrama”…The Earth Mother Festival, the academic section.
