The Saraf Foundation
Saraf Foundation for Himalayan Traditions and Culture is a non-profit distributing company founded in 2012 by Mr. Arun Saraf, a prominent Hotelier and Philanthropist, motivated to preserve the Himalayan culture and traditions, by supporting the preservation, restoration, and documentation of art, culture, and heritage of the Himalayan region.
