It is an NGO funded by Princes Charles of Wales. In the evening the same day, he arrived at Bengaluru.

He spent his first day in India on November 13 meeting the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind. He also visited the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara in New Delhi for the birth anniversary Guru Nanak. He spent his time with community leaders.
Just before he set off on the trip, the official leg of which was scheduled from November 13 to 14, he gave an address to the people from the Sikh community from Clarence House: his royal Instagram page.
“As I depart for India, on my tenth official visit, I did just want to convey my warmest best wishes to all of you in the Sikh Community in the United Kingdom, and across the Commonwealth, on the 550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji.” He said as part of his statement. He added that the Sikh community is valued and admired by them all.
