Sarmaya Arts Foundation

Sarmaya Arts Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation with a curated repository of art, artefacts, and living traditions from the Indian subcontinent. Founded in 2015 by Paul Abraham, a Mumbai-based banker, history enthusiast and arts patron, the archive is led by the vision of Paul and Pavitra Rajaram. Sarmaya’s collection of rare historical artefacts and Indian art is housed at a heritage archive in Fort, Mumbai, and made accessible to diverse communities through talks, exhibitions, workshops and other programs. The digital museum at www.sarmaya.in explores the objects and themes in the collection through articles, videos and learning resources for students. Through social media, Sarmaya brings stories from the archive to life in creative and accessible ways.
