We work closely with artisans, musicians, and storytellers through financial assistance, opportunities, and fair engagement for performances and programs.
Strengthen Our Exhibits
Contributions help expand and care for exhibits that illuminate the connections between ecology, culture, and everyday life.
Enable Learning Programs
We host workshops, field studies, and guided visits that introduce students and researchers to Rajasthan’s living knowledge systems.
Care for the Collection
Maintaining our extensive audio-visual archive requires specialized preservation efforts, including storage, digitization, and documentation.
Preserve Living Traditions
Your support helps sustain the cultural practices, stories, and knowledge systems that define Rajasthan’s unique heritage.
Why Your Support Matters
Unlike large institutions, Arna-Jharna grows through community participation. Contributions directly support artists, craftspeople, and the preservation of field knowledge that might otherwise disappear.
Each donation is used with transparency and purpose, directed toward documentation, education, and livelihood support – not infrastructure alone.
