How we began?
‘Karigar’- Centuries ago, this title evoked a sense of pride in those who carried it. To be a Karigar meant being a guardian of India’s rich cultural heritage. But today, the Indian Karigars numbering almost 7 million have been reduced to mere labourers. With industrialization and modernization, a majority of these craft forms and their practitioners have been pushed to the brink of oblivion. In order to restore their stature and amplify their voices, Virasat was envisioned.
