Why Devanagari?
With its straight & curvy characters and centuries-old history, Devanagari is more than just a writing system—it’s an integral part of India’s linguistic and literary heritage. Devanagari has been widely adopted across India and Nepal to write Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Konkani, Nepalese, & Central Indo-Aryan languages.
Why IAST?
IAST, International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration means अन्तरराष्ट्रीय संस्कृत लिप्यन्तरण वर्णमाला is a transliteration scheme that allows the lossless romanization of Indic scripts. It is popularly used in many publications too.
