Indian Divine:
Gods & Goddesses In 20th Century Modern Art

Santanu Ganguly

Indian Divine: Gods & Goddesses In 20th Century Modern Art explores the sheer enormity of art, a subject which has inspired from the earliest of times. To the presentday, gods have been propitiated, worshipped, cajoled, and given a primal place in the lives of Indians. Their prominent place in our public and collective space has ensured their ubiquitous presence in art as well over time. Drawing uniquely from Delhi Art Gallery’s entire collection of over 32,000 pieces of art, this exhibition presents 300 artworks by nearly 80 artists in the modern era, across three centuries.
