Did You Know?
All around us, change is happening very fast. We are able to discover objects, stories, and history from decades or even centuries ago. But at the same time, many important parts of our present culture are slowly disappearing.

Every day, we are losing languages, rituals, traditions, customs, and cultural practices that have been passed down from one generation to another. Modern lifestyles, technology, and lack of awareness are some of the reasons behind this loss.

This section is created to help people learn and understand the rich and diverse culture of India. Here, you will find interesting facts, simple statistics, and useful information about the traditions, languages, festivals, art forms, and cultural heritage of different Indian states.

Our goal is to spread awareness, encourage learning, and help preserve these valuable cultural treasures for future generations.

ABOUT ASTITVAM

ASTITVAM is built on a compassionate and meaningful vision. The word represents the idea of supreme existence—something that has always been present, even before anything else existed, and will continue to exist even when everything else is gone. It reflects the belief that this supreme element lives everywhere and within every human being.

Astitvam is a group of dedicated people who are trying to understand, reach, and spread this higher awareness in society. The foundation believes in inner growth, kindness, and collective responsibility toward people, culture, and nature. For the past several years, the founding members of the Astitvam Foundation have been working with dedication for the social upliftment of talented youth and skilled entrepreneurs in the state of Uttarakhand. Their efforts focus on providing guidance, opportunities, and support so that young people can build a better future for themselves and their communities. The journey began with a strong determination and a positive vision in 2012. This vision took an organized and official form in 2021 with the registration of ASTITVAM FOUNDATION as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

Today, Astitvam Foundation works in many important areas. These include the revival of traditional knowledge and resources, promotion of creative and spiritual education, restoration of abandoned Isht and deity temples, rescue and care of abandoned animal families, empowerment of women, and protection of a healthy and sustainable environment. Through these efforts, Astitvam Foundation aims to build a better society—one that respects culture, supports humanity, and lives in harmony with nature.

Volunteer run Non-profit organization, Astitvam Foundation was proudly registered in Uttarakhand state of India; Under Society Registration Act XXI Of 1860 | Astitvam Foundation can be verified through the Registration No. UK06608122021007549

ASTITVAM INITIATIVES

The universe is constantly changing, and everything around us is moving very fast. In today’s time, kindness and compassion—known as Karuna in the ancient Vedic language of Hindu scriptures—are believed to be the most important values that still hold society together. Karuna means showing care, understanding, and love toward all living beings. Astitvam Foundation believes that compassion is the foundation of a better world. With this belief, the foundation has started several compassionate initiatives aimed at bringing positive change in society.

These initiatives are carried out through various non-profit activities focused on social reform. The foundation works to support people in need, protect nature and animals, preserve culture and traditions, empower women, and guide youth toward a meaningful and responsible life.

Through acts of kindness, service, and awareness, Astitvam Foundation strives to create a more caring, balanced, and harmonious society for present and future generations.
