Agni was originally founded in 2007 and has been serving the Austin Creative Community at large for the last 15 years as the premier South Asian Performing Arts Organization. Agni Foundation for the Arts is a multi-disciplinary expansion of the same founded in 2018 with the mission to educate and empower children and adults in South Asian arts and culture, through teaching,  multi-disciplinary performances,  festivals and the employment of local artists.

Agni Foundation’s vision is a diverse Central Texas community of students, teachers, performers, participants, film-makers and audience members inspired by and engaged with the vibrancy of South Asian culture. “Agni” is the Sanskrit word for “fire,” capturing the organization’s intention to spread the vitality of South Asian dance, music and experience to diverse audiences.

During the festive season of Diwali and Halloween, a grandmother, living in the US, captivates her twin grandsons with a remarkable tale, who are enthusiastic followers of comic superheroes characters. She skillfully employs comics metaphors, establishing connections to significant figures in the Ramayana such as Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, Hanuman, and Raavana.
