Welcome to Bhoomi/Bem-vindo ao Bhoomi [ An Indian Cultural & Welfare Association ]

Bhoomi means the Earth in Sanskrit and signifies the Motherland in Indian context. Like Kabiguru Rabindranth Tagore said, “O my native soil, I bow my head to you in deep obeisance” or in the words of pioneer novelist and poet Bankimchandra Chatterjee "Vande Mataram" (transl. Mother, I bow to thee). Inspired by such feelings it encouraged us to bring a piece of our Motherland to Portugal.

In our journey to connect people, we took the initiative to create a community for socio-cultural harmony amongst Indians, people of Indian origin and all those who are interested to know more about India. 

On behalf of Bhoomi, our aim is to conduct, coordinate and promote community, cultural and social activities that will foster friendship, cultural understanding and social bonding among various people and communities in Portugal. We will also encourage children to learn about the spirit of inclusion in diversity of the Indian culture and philosophy through study, observation, and participation. We welcome your active support and participation for achieving this purpose.
