It gives us great pleasure to invite you to our World Heritage Week celebrations Gaja Lok, from 19 to 25 November at INTACH Multipurpose Hall, 71 Lodhi Estate, New Delhi, at 4.00 pm.Gaja Lok explores the enduring and evolving relationship between humans and the Asian elephant. Rooted in cultural memory and ecological reality, it weaves together historical, cultural, spiritual and environmental narratives, spanning centuries and connecting India with Southeast Asia in a shared tradition of coexistence.
In a curated series of lectures, we will explore the intersection of cultural, environmental and historical narratives of man-elephant interconnectedness. What did the Arthashastra have to say about elephants? How did the Mughals use this animal as gifts and in battle? What was the British colonial encounter with the animal like? The journeys of Indian elephants beyond the subcontinent.
We are privileged to have some of the leading experts on the subject exploring Gaja Lok with us. We invite you to come and join the exploration with us.
The lectures will be live streamed - link in bio
All are welcome!
