At Prabha Khaitan Foundation, we believe that preserving and promoting India’s cultural heritage is vital to sustaining our collective identity. Through our Arts & Culture portfolio, we create platforms that celebrate language, literature, music, dance, cinema, cuisine, handicrafts, and festivals, ensuring these timeless traditions continue to inspire generations.
Our initiatives span across 65+ cities in India and abroad, making arts and culture accessible, inclusive, and relevant. From hosting over 1,700 conversation series and 250 book launches to curating 350+ performances of folk and classical music and dance, we bring together artists, writers, and cultural thinkers on one stage. Initiatives like Lockdown Live supported over 2,000 artists during the pandemic, while our translation projects have introduced nearly 40 works of feminist literature into Indian languages.
We also champion regional cuisines, showcase traditional handicrafts, and curate boutique festivals that immerse audiences in the richness of local heritage. By supporting artisans, writers, performers, and storytellers, we not only safeguard cultural legacies but also create livelihoods and promote social dialogue.
In essence, our Arts & Culture portfolio is a vibrant confluence of creativity, preservation, and innovation – an effort to celebrate India’s diversity while fostering cross-cultural understanding and societal change.
