Pheroza Godrej and Dr Anita Rane Kothare at Vividha Bahuli 2017

Art has been one of the most important forms in preserving the cultural heritage of India. However, over the decades, there has been a shift in interest levels, leading to some crafts getting obsolete and on the verge of extinction. In an endeavour to safeguard such forms, the Department of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology (AIHCA) at St Xavier’s College organises an annual festival called Vividha that aims to promote the heritage of not just India but the world.
