Photographs from our work in Safidon block. We only publish pictures we have taken ourselves, and we do not photograph anyone who would rather not be photographed.
Satsang, katha and festival programmes
The gatherings the Sanstha organises through the year.
Village-level katha and satsang programmes, festival observances and the honouring of people who help the Sanstha’s work. These are the events at which most of our awareness work is also done.
