Your search ends here... Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia which can be accessed by any person from any computer with an internet connection. The name "Wikipedia" is derived from the words 'Wiki', meaning "Quick," and 'Pedia', meaning "Knowledge."

It is developed by volunteers or 'Contributors', who are willing to share knowledge on the Internet. Today, just a decade since its inception, Wikipedia attracts over 400 million unique visitors monthly. Wikipedia is multilingual, with articles available in over 280 languages. Along with other projects like Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikibooks and Wiktionary, Wikipedia is now regarded as a single source of information maintained by active contributors.

Since its creation in 2001, Wikipedia has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites. As of today, there are 37,42,467 articles in English. Samskrit Wikipedia was established in December 2003, but for much of its history had only about 4,000 articles (as of March 2011), many of which were one-liners and stubs. Samskrita Bharati embarked on a project in May 2011 to create and contribute extensively to Samskrit Wikipedia, and thanks to the collective efforts of the core team at Aksharam, a good increase in the number of articles has been achieved. As of now, there are a total of 7,500 articles in Samskrit Wikipedia and about 4,400 pages in Wikisource.
