Sanskar Bharati is an organization that works to promote Indian art, fine arts, and culture. Notable contributors include Indian intellectuals like Bhaurao Devars, Haribhau Wakankar, Nanaji Deshmukh, Madhavrao Devale, and Yogendra.

History

The concept of Sanskar Bharati was first developed in 1954, and the first institute was established in Lucknow in 1981; it has been operating in Lucknow for over 30 years.[1]

In 1988, the Mirzapur unity was formed for the Ekadashi (Rangbhari Ekadashi) of the Falgun Shukla Party.

Presence and motto

At present, there are over 1200 branches of Sanskar Bharati throughout the country of India. Its motto is "Art gives freedom by cutting the straits of evil".

Sanskar Bharati works in various spheres of the society with the aim of awakening patriotism, cultivating appreciation of "Indian values,"[2] and encouraging the development of various arts and novice artists.

Since 1990, the annual session of Sanskar Bharati has been organized in the form of an 'Art Sekhak Sangam', in which various forms of arts like music, plays, painting, poetry, literature, and dance are displayed. Various established and novice artists from across the country participate in this event.

Sanskar Bhakti is affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and has been called its "cultural wing".[2]
