Delighting Krishna: Community Day

Celebrate the exhibition on March 30.
Enjoy a special haveli sangeet performance and encounter pichwais from the NMAA collections through insights from community members, curators, conservators, and a conservation scientist. Haveli sangeet refers to traditional devotional music sung daily in Pushtimarg temples to joyfully honor and celebrate Krishna.
