 For centuries, India has been a source of creative inspiration for the world. Today, it stands at the precipice of reshaping its role in the global realm of art and culture. Since 2014, under the visionary leadership of Honourable Prime Minister Srinarendra Modi and in furtherance of his vision of Virasat Pargav, the government has made strides in the preservation and promotion of India's heritage, art and culture. A banale, that is, a large-scale global level art and culture exhibition, is now happening in India. Since the first banale was held in Venice in 1895, there have been over 280 such festivals. The Prime Minister's vision of Virasat Bhi, Vikas Bhi, served as an inspiration to establish a global alliance for art and thus, the government of India is proud to present the world's youngest banale, the India Art, Architecture and Design Banale. With a series of artworks and installations spanning one lakh square feet of active programming space, the banale covers over 250 acres of the Red Fort complex, in addition to being on display for 115 consecutive days. The banale has seven themes, each of which has a dedicated pavilion, comprising a total of 78,000 square feet of space for display. Pravesh explored the diversity of India's doors and gateways. Baghe Bahaar unfolded a carpet of nature's splendor, from mythology to ecology. Samprava, traversed through the awe-inspiring step wells of India. Stapathya, magnificent structures that serve as the earliest markers for our enduring prosperity. Vismaya, creative crossovers, architectural wonders of independent India. Deshaj, pay a tribute to our roots and sustainability. Samatva is a tribute to the country's women architects. In celebration of the birth centenary of Urmila Yuli Chaudhary, one of India's first known qualified women architects. With exhibitions, public art installations, workshops, international panellists, publications and much more, the banale is a story of India's genius in the field of art, architecture and design.
