Heritage Project

The Heritage Project is a significant effort to preserve and promote the vibrant Indian art and culture that has thrived in Singapore for centuries. This initiative seeks to document and showcase the unique aspects of this rich heritage through various mediums, including photographs, videos, exhibitions, and interactive displays.

The Indian community in Singapore has a long and fascinating history, with its roots dating back to the colonial era when Indian laborers were brought to the island to work on the plantations. Over time, this community grew and flourished, creating a rich tapestry of cultural traditions that are still celebrated and cherished today.

The Heritage Project seeks to capture this unique cultural legacy and make it accessible to all. It will provide an opportunity for people to learn about the rich history, art, and customs of Singapore's Indian community, and to appreciate the contributions they have made to the country's cultural fabric.

Through the Heritage Project, visitors will be able to explore the vibrant and diverse cultural traditions of the Indian community in Singapore, from their music and dance to their fashion and cuisine. They will also have the chance to interact with members of the community and learn about their experiences, stories, and customs.

The Heritage Project is an exciting initiative that promises to celebrate the unique cultural heritage of Singapore's Indian community and to promote greater understanding and appreciation of this rich and diverse cultural legacy. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.

These events have been designed to cater to people of all ages and backgrounds, providing a platform for them to come together, learn from one another, and celebrate the richness and diversity of Indian culture.

One of the key factors behind the success of SKKN's community events has been their focus on engagement and participation. SKKN has always believed in the power of community participation and collaboration to create a shared sense of ownership and investment in cultural events. By involving members of the community in the planning and execution of these events, SKKN has been able to create a sense of community ownership and pride that has helped to sustain these events over the years.

Looking to the future, SKKN has a series of exciting community engagement programs in the pipeline.

About

History...

  • Since 1956

    Our Beginnings

    Singapore Kairalee Kala Nilayam (SKKN) ), is one of the oldest non-profit Indian organizations which was formed in 1956 primarily to promote Indian Culture, Fine Arts and Sports  among Indian residents in the Republic of Singapore. The secondary objective was to assist other welfare societies or social organisations whose objectives are the promotion of  social welfare or Indian Culture and Fine Arts.

    SKKN was very active in the 1950s through 1980s. With the unconditional support and restless efforts of the local talents, SKKN was able to stage about 250 Dramas in Singapore and Malaysia. In addition, prominent drama troupes from Kerala were invited by SKKN to stage their masterpiece dramas in Singapore. SKKN was privileged to be a part of the first ever National Day parade of independent Singapore.
