Journal Relaunch Announcement: Nikaṣa – Online Refereed Journal of Sanskrit Studies

We are pleased to announce the revival of Nikaṣa, the Online Refereed Journal of Sanskrit Studies, after a pause of 12 years. Originally published by Sangamanee, the journal was launched in 2012–2013 with a vision to create a high-quality scholarly platform dedicated to the richness and depth of Sanskrit language, science, and interdisciplinary thought.

Now, in 2025, we are proud to reintroduce Nikaṣa with renewed commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and cultural relevance. The journal will once again serve as a platform for researchers, scholars, and practitioners from around the world to contribute and engage with the living traditions of Indic knowledge systems through the lens of Sanskrit.
