Radha-kund
Living tradition, source discovery, oral history, library capture, teachers, and context.
A DISTRIBUTED HERITAGE CENTER · FOUNDATION 2026
Preserve the source.
Carry it forward.
A long-term initiative for the literary, oral, visual, and geographic heritage of Radha-kund—built for provenance, multilingual access, and the next generation.
THE MISSION
Technology serves the tradition. It does not replace it.
We preserve original sources, document their provenance, create verified translations and access copies, and connect people with the living context from which the heritage comes.
Processing Lab
Preservation, restoration, cataloging, publishing, translation, and software.
Digital access
A multilingual library, research tools, maps, and source-based search for the world.
Continuity
Verified distributed copies, offline recovery, clear governance, and transfer to future custodians.
THE WORK AHEAD
Preservation before prediction.
The first milestone is not a generative AI. It is a trustworthy inventory of what exists.

02Unknown remains unknown—AI must not guess.
