The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS) is an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages, in all periods and in all parts of the world, maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, originality, and excellence.
We are a non-political and non-sectarian organisation and welcome staff, students, and visitors of all backgrounds. The OCHS is a place where all ideas are open for dispassionate discussion and examination.
We are dedicated to preserving India and Nepal’s cultural heritage and promoting a better understanding of it through a comprehensive programme of education, publishing, and research.
During Oxford University term time we host lectures and talks both in person and online. We also have a wide selection of recorded lectures and seminars online for you to enjoy at your convenience, including our popular Friends Talks.
