Sufi Kathak Foundation

The Sufi Kathak Foundation is a non-profit registered society founded by Manjari Chaturvedi to create awareness about India’s intangible heritage in music and dance. Specifically, we seek to preserve the gradually fading 700 year Sufi traditions in performance. The Foundation aims to create a world of cultural unity, by spreading the secular message of the Sufis. In a unique effort the foundation provides assistance and support to needy artists and students by giving scholarships, pensions and medical support, in order to enable them to pursue classical and traditional music and dance. We seek to evolve a humanist outlook and create centers, organize training classes, workshops, seminars and musical concerts to promote Sufi music, Qawwali, Sufi Kathak, and folk & classical dance across the world.
