We have expanded our efforts beyond performance to actively engage in the preservation and propagation of India’s invaluable cultural heritage.
With a profound vision to preserve and promote the rich folk culture of India, our founder, Mr. Shashikant Mestry, established the Nrutyeshwar in 1989. His passion and unwavering dedication to folk dance have been the cornerstone of our success and led to the creation of the Nrutyeshwar Foundation of Arts and Culture (NFAC) — a registered charitable trust.
Through NFAC, The foundation organizes cultural events, workshops, and festivals across diverse platforms, employing innovative mediums to raise awareness and appreciation of the country’s traditions and folk arts.
As a charitable trust, NFAC is committed to serving the nation’s cultural legacy by fostering education, artistic growth, and cross-cultural understanding. Our endeavours extend beyond India’s borders, where we continuously learn from the cultures of other countries and proudly showcase and educate global audiences about India’s unique heritage.
NFAC embodies the spirit of cultural exchange, preservation, and promotion — ensuring that the vibrant tapestry of Indian folk culture continues to thrive for generations to come.
Founded in 1989, the Nrutyeshwar Adult Folk Group began its journey of cultural preservation and artistic excellence, debuting internationally in the U.S. in 1992.
