We are a humble group of origami addicts! Informally grouped, we are based in India and have centers in several cities: Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Nagpur. We are the Origami Mitra - friends of and for origami.

Founded by Mrs. Indu Tilak in 1981, our myriad group has blossomed with people of all ages and professions. We all approach this art in a different way: scientific, methodic, purist, artistic…we have all these temperaments in our group. Collectively we teach each other techniques and models. Individually we teach ourselves patience. Our meetings are very colorful, what with all the origami paper around, and the wonderful people and books to add shades! Our library has a collection of over 200 origami books for reference.

We are very active in spreading a word about origami through workshops, demonstrations, and exhibitions. Twice a year we all go into a cocoon (a camp for your convenience) to refresh our origami skills.
