The Indian subcontinent is home to the ancient Indian civilization that arose more than 2 millennia before the emergence of ancient Hellas. For most of its history, India was the center of important trade routes and was famous for its wealth and high culture. The diversity of nationalities and religions is reflected in the formation of various ethnocultural types with their own traditional art, music and dances. India is the only country in the world where cultural and religious traditions have not been interrupted since ancient times and have survived to this day.
India leaves no one indifferent. India is a country of indescribable shades and colors, refined forms, rich architecture. The exhibition mainly shows architecture, which is one of the areas in which the diversity of Indian culture is most fully manifested. The genius of Indian masters created not only the temples of Khajuraho and Elephanta, but also the palaces of Rajasthan, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri, the miracle of the Taj Mahal.
The exhibition provides an opportunity to expand the understanding of the vast geography of India - the seventh largest country in the world and the second most populous country in the world. The photographs introduce visitors to the capital Delhi, the southern point of the country - Cape Comorin. Mumbai is presented - the most populated city in India, located in the west of India, on the coast of the Arabian Sea. The state of Orissa, located on the east coast of India, washed by the waves of the Bay of Bengal, is famous for the capital Bhubaneswar, which is also the temple capital of India. Rajasthan with the capital Jaipur is shown most fully - the homeland of the heroes who conquered this land, who built majestic and impregnable fortresses and did not spare their lives defending the Motherland.
The achievement of the culture of India is the book miniature, which reached its peak during the Mughal period. Especially popular at the end of the 16th century were heroic-historical plots telling about the battles and campaigns of the Mughal rulers, as well as painting scenes of folk life. The exhibition presents reproductions of miniatures from the Manuscript "Babur Name".
The bright and original exhibition "India" invites viewers to get acquainted and try to reveal the secrets of this amazing and mysterious country.
