Indian non-profit non govermental organization (NGO) for the promotion of art, photography, heritage and nature. With rapid urbanization, a cultural shift towards the material world with rejection of and disregard for the spiritual and emotional facets of life has slowly invaded the average person causing disinterest and neglect of the traditional and contemporary arts, which, during the period of spiritual intimacy and personal attachments, have been major exhibits of human imagination and spiritual expression. Though this generalization is not universally applicable, the situation is not much different in most of the societies around the globe. The arts have come to be a vanity ornament of the affluent alone. There is a palpable gap between the arts and the community as a whole, especially in the days of increasing consumerism, with the community psyche increasingly inclining towards the lines of pure materialism. As social beings we have always felt the need for revival of community interest in the arts and cultural practices, and thus in humanities, so that a certain degree of enjoyment and spiritual fulfillment is derived from such emotional and intellectual experiences rather than from pure material and transient pleasures alone.An art form preserved expresses its thanks by enriching our generations. We hope to synthesize a deep community awareness in the preservation of folk and classical traditions of visual arts. The survival of craftsmen, artisans and artists is an expected by-product of this awareness. The insight of the traditions, when aptly assimilated, feeds the birds of contemporaneity.
