About The Savara Foundation For The Arts

In 2008, Roohi, Rajiv and Rahul Savara established The Savara Foundation for the Arts (SFA) to serve as a repository of their fairly unparalleled collection of Pre-Modern and Modern Indian Art, the Decorative Arts comprising of 18th, 19th and early 20th Century Anglo-Indian and Indo-Portuguese Furniture including select Works of the Decorative Arts from the Japanese Meiji Period (1868-1912).

SFA is chartered as a not-for-profit organization that focuses on the creation, preservation and a deeper appreciation of knowledge on South Asian Arts through research, documentation and scholarship on the Roohi & Rajiv Savara Family Collection. With the River Ganges having provided umbrage to Matra Ashram – An Abode to Creativity and Thought, SFA’s commitment extends to addressing the challenges of Climate Change at both, the Gangotri Glacier as well as the River Ganges.

SFA strives for the creation, and dissemination of knowledge on the Roohi & Rajiv Savara Family Collection through stimulating, engaging and innovative exhibitions, education programs, scholarship grants and fellowships, to connect and foster dialogues on human creativity and thought.
