Research activities within the department explore both historical and contemporary dimensions of Sanskrit, encouraging interdisciplinary connections with fields like history, anthropology, religious studies, and comparative literature. Through workshops, seminars, and research projects, the department nurtures an environment conducive to critical inquiry and academic excellence.
