The exhibition is about India’s civilizational expressions, about it’s inter-connectedness. The exhibition traces cultural marvels through Indian sagas based on archaeology, literature, numismatics, epigraphy and paintings. The woven narrative is truly diverse and rich.

The exposition engages G20 priorities, the essential tenets of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, the core values of which are supremely universal. The chosen themes reflect that ethos – respect for nature and environment, democratic spirit, gender equality, education et al. The G20 country connect unravels too, as part of shared global traditions. Subjects like ‘Shringar’ and Knowledge Systems that are transnational, are taken to portray the nuanced legacy of the Indian story. How the Indian Literature and Art mirror each other, completes the experience.

The ‘Routes’ the outreach, through different mediums – language, philosophy, religion, literature, sculpture and paintings, the overland and maritime routes, have been curated after diligent research.
