The Bhavan

The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is a comprehensive art, cultural and educational movement which believes that common elements of cultures can transcend barriers and bring people together. The Bhavan UK was established in London in 1972 and moved to its current premises in West Kensington in 1978.The Bhavan’s core activities are the teaching and promotion of classical Indian arts, yoga, languages and culture. It is the only organisation in the UK that provides such a wide variety of traditional Indian cultural activities under one roof. The Bhavan is unique in the UK for holding classes in over 23 different subjects which allows artistic exchange across the art-forms. Every week around 800 students walk through The Bhavan’s doors.
