Exhibition at India Habitat Center, Delhi

Visual Art Gallery, Indian Habitat Center, Lodhi Road, New Delhi

As one of its initiatives the Sri Anandpur Sahib Heritage Foundation is working on an Art Residency program, where we will be highlighting the holy town of Sri Anandpur Sahib in Punjab as a global tourist destination, through the arts. The Sri Anandpur Sahib Heritage Foundation in association with Gallery Dravidam organised an exhibition titled ‘Holla Mohalla – An Enduring Celebration -1’. It was held from 21st to 24th of February 2014 at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi. The exhibition was inaugurated by the Chief Guest Smt. Gursharan Kaur, wife of the then Prime Minister Shri Manmohan Singh. In March 2013, under the auspices of the Sri Anandpur Sahib Heritage Foundation and Gallery Dravidam, artist Suresh Muthukulam from Kerala, and photographer Cop Shiva from Karnataka were invited to attend the Holla Mohalla in order to present this vibrant festival.

This art exhibition highlights the universal appeal of the Sikh tradition and the festival of Holla Mohalla seen through the eyes of two South Indian artists. Through such events we hope to spread the message of national integration. This event will be a curtain raiser to future art events featuring the heritage and traditions of Sri Anandpur Sahib.
