ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
Spanning a millennium, paintings and sculptures in this installation showcase the sensuous deities of Hinduism, including Vishnu and Shiva; the heroes of Sanskrit literary epics; and the princes of the royal Mughal court. Works by Jamini Roy, India’s master painter of the 20th century, are also on display and depict India’s people.
