This is ChitAmbara

A space where creativity arrives, art thrives, and ideas flourish. We welcome you as we embark on an age-long journey hoping to encounter something new.

ChitAmbara nurtures creative possibilities fostering collaboration, creativity, and innovation from concept to completion. We strive to bring a diverse range of artistic practices, cultural thought and communities together, with the overarching aim to engage and explore our purpose of service through the arts and culture.

Join us as we simultaneously look to the past and the future in pursuit of a space where creativity arrives.

Our Story

Born from a Vision of Love and Art

ChitAmbara is the performing wing of Saraswati Mahavidhyalaya, inspired by the timeless vision of Swami Shantanand Saraswati — that art is not just for entertainment, but for enlightenment.

Here, artists are invited to explore, to make mistakes, to reflect, and to create without boundaries. Our collaborations with Indigenous Australian elders carry forward a shared dream — reconnecting the ancient stories of India and Australia through rhythm, ritual, and respect.

Through our productions like Echoes from a Forgotten Land and Encounters Through Art, we honour the divine in every note, every step, and every story we share.
