As part of its initiatives to help preserve and raise awareness about Indian culture and heritage, the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha has researched and exhibited facts and information about Indian culture from ancient scriptures, archeological findings, and the work of previous historians and scholars. These exhibitions include the latest research and findings about India and its people. Some of these exhibits are created as part of major festivals or inaguarations, while many have been created on a permanent basis at mandirs and cultural complexes around the world. These exhibits highlight the contributions Indian civilization has made to the world in the fields of computers, science, arts, medicine, and aviation.
