The Flower Raj Encyclopaedia.
A small factual Encyclopaedia of people & places.
The Flower Raj is a documentation & archive project that seeks to generate & preserve written, pictorial & oral histories of some seekers, travellers & escapers, who set out from the West, in the 1950s, 1960s & 1970s, to travel to India.
We also record Indian travellers & seekers who interacted with & influenced Westerners, and in turn were influenced by them. Additionally – ‘Indian’ in this context includes differing ethnic, cultural & spiritual groups who largely reside in India, an example being the Tibetan Buddhist diaspora.
The Flower Raj is a community project and you are encouraged to contribute, either directly by emailing us to set-up an account for you and getting to work, or, by contacting the administrators with your contributions of text, images, audio or video.
