practices that originated in India, encompassing various fields such as
Ayurveda, yoga, astrology, and traditional medicine. It includes various
disciplines such as: Traditional Sciences (Ayurveda, Yoga, Jyotish and Vastu
sastra); Philosophical and Spiritual Traditions (Vedanta, Buddhism, Jainism
and Sikhism); Artistic and Cultural Expressions (Indian Classical Music,
Indian Classical Dances, Natya Shastra and Visual arts); Mathematics and
Astronomy (Vedic mathematics and Ancient Indian astronomy); Language and
Literature (Sanskrit language and literature and regional languages and
literature). Teacher education field trying to revamp its courses according to
the needs of NEP 2020 has much to integrate from traditional Indian system. In
