Hindu Dharma Prachar Prasar Foundation

You can find us at Shop No 102, right near the post office by the old bus stand in Behal. It’s a busy little area, especially in the mornings when the buses are coming through. Being in Loharu, Bhiwani, we get a lot of local folks stopping by just to say hello or ask what we are up to. Hindu Dharma Prachar Prasar Foundation is basically us trying to keep our traditions alive in the community. We have some books and we talk to people who come into the shop about local customs. It gets a bit dusty with all the traffic from the bus stand, but it’s a good spot to be. We aren’t a big corporate entity with a fancy board of directors. It’s mostly just me and a couple of friends who care about our culture. We spend our afternoons here, sometimes drinking tea and planning the next small event for the temple or the local school. People know they can find us here if they want to talk about religious matters or if they need help with a ceremony. We don't have a website or anything like that, we just talk to people face to face. Haryana is a place where people still value that kind of thing. We just do what we can with the little space we have. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy every day.
