Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts

The Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) is a true treasure house of India’s cultural heritage. It beautifully brings together art, history, literature, and tradition under one roof.

Overall, IGNCA is not just a museum or research centre — it’s a living symbol of India’s cultural spirit and intellectual legacy. A must-visit for anyone who wishes to experience the depth and beauty of Indian art and heritage.

Beautiful collection along with a aesthetic cafe Kala inside it's premises, the cafe is affordable and serves delicious meals. An evening spent well in peace.

This is a prestigious cultural institution dedicated to promoting and preserving India's rich artistic heritage. It hosts a wide range of exhibitions, performances, and workshops that showcase the diversity of Indian art, music, dance, literature, and craft.

Kala cafe inside indira gandhi centre is a lovely place to visit for a quick bite. Affordable too

Awesome! Place to showcase your Artwork. I liked the Auditorium a lot. Thank you very much, AHRI for the invitation to your event.

A centre located in the central part of New Delhi. The centre is meant to preserve and promote Art and Culture and talent related therewith. This has been the venue through the year for many exhibitions, displays, festivals, live performances, dance, drama, regional flavours and many more aspects of culture, art, music, food and heritage. The place become more lively during Delhi winter months (normally November to February) as the weather becomes conducive to outdoor activities, venturing into open space and enjoy the events. It has a sprawling complex, both covered and open area, amphitheater, auditorium, reasonably parking space, accessibility to the venue; more so the entry to all such open events is free for visitors and free parking too. Temporary food stall are set up depending on the theme of the event, clean toilets, drinking water, natural greenery around... are some of the features which really add to the positivity of the venue. However, the type of visitors here have taste and flavours for the events (relating to culture, art and heritage) and not everyone visits the venue events.... which is indeed a blessing in disguise. The programmes are published in newspapers, banners and displays periodically and folks interested do keep a track of calender of events! Some pics of a couple of such events heppened on a certain day are appended.

IGNCA or Indira Gandhi Centre for Arts is located on Janpath Road and home of Indian Atts and Culture with an auditorium bookshop Library and art exhibition area...definitely worth a visit.

My favorite place in Delhi. As cultural enthusiasts I like to visit again and again. Every time some thing new to see. It is presently located in a building in Janpath. The grandeur of IGNCA is now squeezed. Previous building was a real good place with ample space for organizing cultural events. Now it is snatched to accommodate babus.
