Ranga Mandira Trust

It is a registered trust run with the motive of promoting research in arts. We conduct several academic lectures and presentations by scholars from various fields to educate the artistes and public on archeological, historical, spiritual, linguistic and contemporary aspects relevant to the art of dance and music. We also support archival and documentation of various source materials. We are in the process of creating a large library of resource books and multi media resources for artiste’s benefit.

We have produced several mammoth research based dance productions. We organize events and festivals in rural areas of interior tamilnadu and other southern states to inculcate an aesthetic sense in our rural masses and children and also to give platform to the local, rural and folk traditions. Our prime motto is

1.     Personality enhancement through culture and art  

2.    Research and academic pursuit of serious nature.

3.    Promotion of art to the masses

4.    Preservation of dance and music resources for posterity.
