My Story Being a Hindu myself I find that there is a lot of misconception in Hindu religion due to the influence of past invaders who ruled our country for many centuries. There is a mass convertion to Islamic and christianity. My concept is to design a Knowledge and experience center based on the Indian Temple architecture with a contemporary touch which promotes Hinduism and the rich Indian culture with diverse collection of ancient and modern folk arts and cultural elements. Also to provide the right historic knowledge and culture.
My Idea Promote Hindu culture
Knowledge Center intergrate digital technology

Global Audience
My Goals and next step Revival of Hindu Culture Minimise convertion Build many more centers Create opportunities to support art and culture
