WELCOME TO THE BHAVAN
THE BHAVAN VISION
As the UK’s principal venue for Indian cultural education, performance and events, The Bhavan focuses on 4 fundamental areas of activity:
THE POWER OF THE ARTS
The Bhavan views the arts as a force for both personal fulfilment and social good and promotes an ethos that esteems the active contribution of the artist in society.
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
The Bhavan develops reflective, innovative, collaborative and resourceful artists and practitioners.
RELEVANCE OF TRADITION
The Bhavan celebrates traditional art forms and their contemporary relevance through continued examination, interpretation and expression.
SOCIAL & COMMUNITY IMPACT
The Bhavan enriches the cultural, social and economic life of its local, national and international communities.
“If there is one place in the UK where Indian art and culture is taught and practised in the true traditional sense, it is, without doubt, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.”
Master sitar player late Pandit Ravi Shankar, a friend and supporter of The Bhavan
