☀️ Donyi-Polo · Sun & Moon · Arunachal Pradesh 🌙
Rooted in the sacred Donyi-Polo faith of the Tani people, we preserve, protect, and promote the living cultural heritage, indigenous script, and spiritual traditions of Arunachal Pradesh for generations to come.
Guardians of the
Tani Heritage
The Tony Koyu Foundation is a charitable organisation based in Arunachal Pradesh, India, dedicated to the revival and preservation of the Donyi-Polo indigenous faith — the ancestral spiritual tradition of the Tani people, revering the Sun (Donyi) and Moon (Polo) as divine forces.
Founded by Dr. Tony Koyu, a visionary scholar, spiritual leader, and creator of the Tani Lipi script, the foundation bridges ancient wisdom with modern action — building prayer houses, educating youth, reviving the Galo language, and championing cultural pride across the region.

Dr. Tony Koyu —
Scholar, Sage & Trailblazer
"Our language, our faith, our sun and moon — they are not the past. They are the living breath of our people."
Dr. Tony Koyu is a scholar, cultural activist, and spiritual reformer from Arunachal Pradesh whose life's work has been the renaissance of Galo indigenous identity. In 2003, he founded the Kargu Gamgi Movement — a landmark spiritual reformation to revitalise Donyipoloism through organised communal prayer.
Beyond spiritual leadership, Dr. Koyu is the creator of Tani Lipi, a scientific script designed to transcribe the Tani language, featured in publications such as the Echo of Arunachal Pradesh.
