Gaja-lok: Elephant lands and their cultural symbolism in Asia 

Conceptualised and Curated by Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Division of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage 
For millennia, humans and elephants have co-inhabited shared landscapes-forests, cultural routes, and riverine systems- shaping deeply intertwined ecological and cultural worlds. The exhibition builds upon this relationship to examine the elephant as both a living ecological presence and a powerful cultural signifier. Drawing on a combination of visual culture, textual and field-based research, as well as oral histories, Gaja-Lok traces the ways in which elephants have been embedded within diverse cultural and environmental contexts across regions and historical periods.

Himalayan encounters - Hidden Views from 170 year ago
The Schlagintweit drawings in India

For the first time the Schlagintweit drawings based on mid-19th century recordings are shown in India. The presentation of the paintings covers views of the Himalayan belt from Assam to Kashmir, from Ladakh to Bhutan and the Khasi Hills. Most of the drawings are based on rough sketches made during the expedition by Adolph, Hermann and Robert Schlagintweit, German geographers and geologists in the employ of the East India Company. Their scientific recordings are perceived as pieces of art that were elaborated on back home and are depicting a world lost and reminding us of the picture of pristine worlds in imagination and reality.

Whispers of The Sky
By Abhishek Kumar, a wildlife photographer focusing on birds and their relationship with natural habitats, grounded in patience, close observation, and an ethical, field-based practice.

The exhibition presents photographs made in quiet moments — early mornings, long pauses, and stretches of waiting where nothing seemed to happen. Standing still, watching a bird settle into a branch, listening to the wind, and noticing how light slowly changed the sky, these images are drawn to moments of rest and watchfulness. The act of waiting becomes a way of seeing and learning patience, sharing a sense of calm, attention, and connection where the boundary between earth and sky briefly dissolves.

The exhibition will remain open daily from 31st March to 6th April from 11:00 to 19:00 hrs
