About Sethubandhanam

Sethu Bandhanam is a platform to connect well-minded donors to dharmakartas in need of funds. India (bharata-desha) is a land of great ancient treasure with Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) as its founding stone. All over India various dharmic activities take place through the year – all of which require funds. The intent of this web-platform is to bring all well-minded donors on one platform to ensure that all many dharmic activities receive the funds they require to be realized. Sethu-bandhanam is a non-profit platform that exists with the only intent of furthering dharma and dharmic activities in India. It will focus and feature only those activities that will further Sanatana Dharma.

Sethu Bandhanam, which means a joining bridge is exactly what this web-platform is. It serves as a conduit between well-minded recipients and donors. Sethubandhanam is a part of the Sethubandhanam Welfare Foundation – a non-profit registered with the central government – the most credible form of non-profits registered in India ( Section-8 licensed)

Our spirit of being a non-profit to foster our Dharma has been furthered with this move. Sethubandhanam has been registered as a Section-8 Non-Profit Organization with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies Act 2013. 

We launched Sethubandhanam in 2020 to help dharmakarthas across India scale their reach to funds. The overwhelming response we have received from asthikas across the board has encouraged us to formalize this further. We have improved the donation experience further to help our donors contribute towards various dharmic causes in India.
