Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts

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

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

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.

Unique Centre to experience the Bharatiya Civilization, Heritage and Ethos.

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.

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.

It's quite close to the guesthouse where I have put up. I walked down with the help of Google Map. Met decent people in that compound, who were willing to guide. The guesthouse is neat and clean with good facilities. I want to add that I have again visited the Centre last evening (on 29.05.2025). I reached the same gate and was stopped by the security saying 'even yesterday I told you that this is not for entry'. In fact the previous day he told me 'this is the back gate' and I told him that I followed the Google Map and reached there. He allowed me to enter. This time he was a bit rough, yet told me to enter. However, I don't want to disobey rules and don't want any undue advantage; so I went all the way round to the first gate. I ensued informng this to several points- at: a) Gate#1, b) reception, c) the 5th floor counter; and d) to a staff of the Centre. I don't mind following rules and instructions; however, I feel if entry of public is prohibited through some gate, that must be mentioned clearly on a board at that gate and also should clearly be instructed on the Google Map. Otherwise anyone from other state and/or country will do the same mistake and experience the same harassment. In fact, I believe this is the inability of the organisation and/or the third party to control the security systems.
