At Natanam Trust, we are committed to preserving, sustaining, and promoting this invaluable heritage by embracing the power of digitisation and AI.

Our mission is to safeguard the diverse traditions, art forms, and mythological narratives that form the bedrock of Indian culture. By blending technology with traditional wisdom, we aim to document, analyze, and rejuvenate classical arts, performing arts, and their affiliated traditions.

Through Performing Arts, immersive storytelling, digital archiving, and AI-driven insights, we strive to make India’s cultural wealth accessible, engaging, and inspiring for future generations. We believe that revitalising Storytelling through Itihaasa’s and Purana’s, Rituals, and indigenous knowledge systems is key to fostering a deeper connection with our heritage while ensuring its relevance in the modern world.
