Shivang Foundation

A Section 8 organization working to make Indian classical arts a meaningful part of education, emotional well-being, and cultural preservation.

Shivang Foundation is a Section 8 organization working to make Indian classical arts, particularly Bharatanatyam, as a meaningful part of education, emotional well-being, and cultural preservation.

By bringing together art, learning, and community, the foundation creates spaces where individuals grow with confidence, expression, and a strong sense of self — beyond performance alone.

The journey began in 2010 with a small Bharatanatyam institution in Guwahati.

Over the years, it grew steadily — shaped by the students who came in, the challenges they faced, and the need to make this learning accessible to more people.

Many who wanted to learn could not, simply because of financial limitations. In response, the initiative opened its doors wider — offering free and subsidised training wherever needed.

As the work expanded and reached more people, it became important to give it a formal structure.

In 2025, Shivang Foundation was established as a Section 8 organization — not as a beginning, but as a natural step forward in a journey that had already been underway for years.

At Shivang Foundation, Indian classical arts are seen as more than an art form.

It is a discipline that builds:

Awareness and sensitivity
Confidence and identity
Focus and consistency

The aim is not only to train performers, but to support individuals in their overall growth.

The foundation follows a simple and thoughtful approach:

Making training accessible through free and subsidised models
Encouraging long-term learning rather than short-term exposure
Creating opportunities to perform, participate, and engage
Extending work into the community through outreach and workshops
