Echoes of Wisdom : Abhay Prabhavan's Vision for Living Heritage and Inspired Minds
Conceptualized with deep reverence for India's civilizational roots, the museum blends the ancient with the avant-garde. Through immersive storytelling, state-of-the-art design, and thought-provoking exhibits, Abhay Prabhavana brings to life the profound tenets of Jain philosophy, Indian heritage, and the message of compassionate and conscious living.
In order to extend this message beyond walls and into the hearts of young learners, the Abhay Prabhavana Museum and Knowledge Centre has launched immersive educational initiatives. This initiative seeks to ignite and instill pride in India's value system, encouraging students to explore and embody the civilizational wisdom encoded in ethics, thought and in art.
Tailored for school and college students across disciplines – from humanities to design – the programme features thoughtfully created group tours led by academicians. These guided journeys unveil 30 state-of-the-art galleries, each a portal into themes such as philosophy, traditions, artistic expressions and social practices.
The experience is both panoramic and personal. Set amid 20 acres of landscaped gardens, highlights include the towering 100 feet Manstambh, symbolizing spiritual elevation, the resplendent 43 feet sculpture of Rishabhdev: the first Tirthankar who introduced civilizational markers, and the Plaza of Equanimity, designed to inspire inner reflection. These architectural marvels are not just monumental, they are living metaphors of India's inclusive and enduring ethos.
Through immersive experiences, digital installations, and aesthetic design, students encounter India's heritage not as a static relic, but as a dynamic, lived experience. They are then invited to reflected and respond – through articles, speeches, sketches, and creative expressions – fostering a personal connection with the values they witness.
This initiative marks a significant stride in cultural education. It creates a space where heritage meets imagination, and where tradition inspires innovation. In nurturing this dialogue between the past and the future, Abhay Prabhavana is cultivating a generation of conscious citizens, thoughtful artists and value-driven designers.
Reflecting on vision behind the project, Shri Abhay Firodia, Founder of Abhay Prabhavana Museum and Chairman of the Amar Prerana Trust, shared, "Design, creativity, and knowledge must be rooted in meaning. Through this initiative, we hope to encourage young minds to understand and carry forward the spirit of our civilizational ethos – one where values are not merely remembered, but lived and reimagined through new forms."
In a world often consumed by challenges, Abhay Prabhavana emerges as a timeless guidepost – a place where wisdom is not just preserved, but awakened, embodied, and set in motion for generations to come.

Why UP's proposed ‘One District, One Cuisine' initiative risks flattening India's rich food heritage
The first time I went to Lucknow, in 2013, I followed the usual script handed out by friends, family, and the internet. I sampled the famous galawat ke kebab at Tunday Kababi, biryani from Idrees, kachoris from Durga Khasta Corner, chaat from Royal Café, and, of course, a steaming kulhad of chai from Sharma Ji ki Chai. Lucknow's food felt like a neatly curated checklist; one dish, one shop, one picture for each craving. But moving and living in Lucknow has changed how I taste the city. Kebabs, chai, kachori, or even chutney — there are dozens of variations, each with its own loyal following and story. Chowk's tangy khasta is nothing like Hazratganj's buttery one, and the tea that fuels conversations in Aminabad tastes and feels different from the chai in Gomti Nagar. When people ask me for food recommendations today, my goal is simple: To make them see Lucknow beyond galawati kebabs and Instagram-famous shops. That's why the Uttar Pradesh government's proposed 'One District, One Cuisine' initiative, which got a boost after Lucknow's nomination for 'UNESCO's Creative City of Gastronomy' got accepted, and through which the government intends to popularise one cuisine from each district, worries me. It sounds neat on paper — who wouldn't want to link every district to a proud local delicacy? But food doesn't work like that. A city's culinary identity is not a single dish on a pedestal. It's a messy, fragrant, indefinable table where stories, communities, and forgotten recipes coexist. How do you pick one dish to represent Lucknow when its foodscape includes street-side kachoris, temple prasads, majlis tabarruk, and home-cooked aloo gosht with a side of faith, migration, caste, and family history? Food is part of our intangible cultural heritage, a way of life passed down through generations. Recipes, cooking techniques, and even the etiquette of dining are reflections of values, belief systems, and social identities. As Harvard anthropologist Theodore Bestor said, 'the culinary imagination is the way a culture conceptualises and imagines food'. Reducing an entire district to one state-approved 'representative' dish risks flattening that imagination, turning living traditions into branded commodities. Just as there is no one 'Indian' language, there is no one 'Indian' food. India's culinary heritage is enormous, shaped by local ingredients, caste-based cooking methods, and regional beliefs. For the longest time, the West thought Indian food meant butter chicken. Now, chefs like Vijay Kumar are changing that narrative; Semma, which serves South Indian food, has won Michelin stars three years in a row in New York. That's what happens when you let food speak for itself instead of forcing it into a simplified box. India's diversity cannot be captured in a single dish. What we eat, how we eat and why we eat what we do are key to understanding India's social landscape. It is a work of caste, class, religion, region and kinship. Consider Lucknow again. During Muharram, some distribute roti, others sharbat or khichda; during Shravan, some cook sabudana khichdi, others make makhana kheer or khamang kakdi. These are not just recipes but expressions of belief and community, woven into social interactions and rituals. Which one of these would you choose to represent 'Lucknow's cuisine'? And more importantly, who gets to decide? Colleen Taylor Sen, in Feasts and Fasts (2014), describes Indian cuisine as 'an active, ever-changing product of 5,000 years of political upheavals, migrations and conquests, revelries and lamentation'. How then can a policy like 'One District, One Cuisine' hope to do justice to this dynamism? Social media already promotes homogeneity by amplifying the most photogenic or viral dishes. The algorithm favours popularity, not cultural nuance. When state policy mirrors that behaviour, we risk celebrating virality instead of vitality. Food scholar Lucy M Long defines culinary tourism as 'the intentional, exploratory participation in the foodways of another — participation including the consumption, preparation, and presentation of a food item, cuisine, meal system, or eating style considered to belong to a culinary system not one's own.' Culinary adventuring, whether through street food in a far-off country or at an immigrant-run eatery in your own city, promotes diversity and understanding. A plate of kebabs in a Hazratganj restaurant might tell a story of aristocratic Awadhi refinement, while the same kebab in a Chowk stall speaks of street-side hustle and working-class ingenuity. A one-cuisine policy stands to kill curiosity by presenting a single, state-sanctioned narrative of what a place 'tastes like'. Which story would 'One District, One Cuisine' choose to erase? Food is not just about consumption; it is about belonging. A humble plate of food can be a profound communicator of identity: both a representation offered by those who cook it and an experience for those who taste it. In multicultural societies, culture is constantly recreated and reconstructed through interactions, and food often crosses ethnic and religious boundaries. Khamiri rotis, for example, are shared between Hindus and Muslims in Old Delhi; sharbat is as much a community beverage in Muharram as it is during a langar or bhandara during festivals. When policies are imposed from the top down, they risk silencing these organic cultural exchanges. Promoting food democratically, from the bottom up by listening to the people who cook, sell, and eat these dishes every day would be a different matter altogether. But if it comes through government committees and hashtags, it feels less like a celebration and more like appropriation. To truly celebrate Uttar Pradesh's food, we need to listen to its kitchens, not its hashtags. The writer is a chef and author

News in Frames: Wular back in the pink
The sight of dew droplets dripping down large lotus leaves in the morning enhances the bewitching charm of the Wular lake in the Kashmir Valley these days. Waxy green leaves and pink lotuses now embellish the large surface of the freshwater lake, surrounded by mountains, after a gap of three decades. 'It is the Almighty's miracle that lotuses are a reality on the lake again. The lake had turned barren more than three decades ago for our own sins. For local farmers, it means more money and happier times ahead this year,' says Bashir Dar, a local fisherman. Over the years, farming practices and rising population had increased nutrient pollution load and silting into the lake waters, which saw an extraordinary increase in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels. Lotus, being a deep lake plant, only blooms in water with low phosphorus. Also, with large amounts of silt added to the lakebed, which acts as an absorption basin for floodwaters, the lotus plants could not survive. 'Lotus blooming [at present] is the result of ongoing de-siltation carried out after the 2014 floods in Kashmir,' says Khursheed Khan, a teacher. The lake, once considered among Asia's largest freshwater lakes, tells a sad story of ecological degradation. According to the Jammu and Kashmir Wildlife Department, the area of the lake was 217.8 in 1911 and included 58 of associated marshes. However, it was reduced to an alarming 86.71 by 2007. The main cause of this shrinkage was conversion into agricultural land, thus reducing the lake area by 28% and its fauna by 17%, an official survey suggests. In 1992, lotuses in the Wular stopped blooming after floods in the Jhelum river damaged the ecosystem. At present, the lake is surrounded by 31 villages and home to over 12,000 households. The Wular lake is also home to folklore, with mythology and legends woven around gods and kings of the past. The local communities are overjoyed by the pink blooms today. Lotuses act as a barometer of the ecological health of the lake. The lotus stems are collected through an arduous exercise as they are considered a delicacy. Traditionally cooked with freshwater fish, the stems are a must-have item at weddings in Kashmir. (Text by Peerzada Ashiq) Wular back in the pink Rosy picture: A big lotus in full bloom at the Wular lake in Bandipora district. Lotuses have bloomed again in the freshwater lake, one of the largest in the Indian subcontinent, after nearly three decades. Nothing goes to waste: People on boats collect the weed growing in the Wular lake, located 60 km from Srinagar, to feed their cattle. Walk by the lake: The lake is a crucial habitat along the Central Asian Flyway for migratory geese, ducks, shorebirds, cranes as well as local birds. It attracts 213 waterbird species. Season to flourish: The return of the lotus in the lake has sparked hope among communities as it brings economic benefits. Means of sustenance: A farmer on his boat harvests water chestnuts. Chestnut collection is one of the many activities that sustains families living close to the lake. Lakeside life: Women gathering water chestnuts. Lotus flowers and stems, chestnuts and fish from the lake benefit the local community. Heap of feed: A man on a boat transports a pile of weed from the lake. Farmers use the weed as cattle fodder. Blurred yet distinct: Revived through desilting and conservation efforts, the lake now has lotuses along vast stretches. Sight to behold: With mountains and vast stretches of largely unblemished nature all around, Wular lake is a picture-perfect locale. It is a sprawling lake, but the area fluctuates seasonally.
