Indian Bronzes: National Museum Collection

You are warmly invited to a special heritage walk through the National Museum’s Indian Bronze collection, where centuries of artistic brilliance, devotion, and cultural heritage come alive in metal.

Curated by Uttar Dharohar in collaboration with Immersive Trails

We will step into the luminous world of Indian bronzes and discover how metal was transformed into divinity, devotion, and artistic brilliance. This specially curated walk explores the language of iconography—decoding sacred gestures, attributes, ornaments, postures, and symbols that reveal the identities and stories of India's gods, goddesses, saints, and devotees.

From the refined elegance of Chola masterpieces to the dynamic bronzes of Vijayanagar and beyond, participants will journey through centuries of artistic innovation, religious imagination, and metallurgical excellence preserved within one of India's most significant collections.

Join us as we learn to “read” these extraordinary sculptures, uncovering the spiritual narratives and cultural meanings hidden within every detail.
