ojaskara is a practice-based platform working at the intersection of cartography, memory, territory and Vedic knowledge.
ojaskara supports processes of belonging — institutional and individual — through situated methodologies that integrate cultural research, spatial thinking and temporal awareness.
Mapping here is not neutral representation.
It is a relational and orienting practice.
ojaskara operates across three interconnected fields:
-
Territory & Cultural Intervention
Urban and institutional projects grounded in listening, contextual analysis and collaborative design.
-
Archive & Memory Activation
Organization, interpretation and activation of collections, narratives and cultural heritage.
-
Vedic Knowledge
Temporal and embodied practices supporting clarity, transition and alignment.
