Preserve • Index • Share the living folk memory of Uttarakhand
A community-driven, mixed-rights archive of songs, stories, instruments, and language—searchable by region, district, and village.
Vision
Bedupako exists to protect Uttarakhand’s living cultural DNA—Kumaon, Garhwal, and Jaunsar—by building a modern digital ‘folk genome’ that is searchable, credited, and future-proof. We combine community contributions with careful curation, ensuring every item carries the right attribution and permissions.

Rights & Licensing
Mixed per-item model: each audio/lyric/story entry can be marked as (a) contributor‑owned with permission, (b) public domain, or (c) requires permission. We will add clear per-item credits and takedown workflow.
