At Nagaloka representatives of Indian Buddhist communities meet and work with Buddhists from outside India, including distinguished visitors like H.H. the Dalai Lama and Ven. Thich Nhat Hahn.

Located in Nagpur, where Dr. Ambedkar launched the great revival of Buddhism in 1956, Nagaloka is a central meeting place and conference center for Indian people working to spread the Dhamma and create a society free of caste discrimination.

Buddhism virtually disappeared from India for eight hundred years until it was revived in the 1950s through the extraordinary efforts of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the author of the Indian Constitution and the greatest advocate for the socially oppressed people of India in the Twentieth Century. Dr. Ambedkar saw Buddhism as the key to the spiritual development and social liberation of the hundreds of millions of low-caste and outcaste people.
