“Lokayata” literally means the philosophy of the people, the term was first used by ancient Buddhists to refer to common-tribal philosophical views and a sort of this worldly or nature lore. Popularly recognized as a materialistic philosophical system that accepts perception as the only pramaṇa i.e. means to knowledge, consciousness as a product of matter and sensuous pleasure as the only goal of life.

Revived in 2020, Lokayata strives to be an institution dedicated to art initiatives ranging from high end and established artists to promoting new works by emerging artists. Lokayata invites fluid & versatile ideas and wishes to provide a platform for them all.
