Triveni Kala Sangam is a government cultural centre near Mandi House that has been a hub of Delhi's art world since it opened in 1955. The complex houses five art galleries, a studio theatre, a music and dance school, and a terrace café overlooking a leafy courtyard. The galleries mount rolling exhibitions of painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking by Indian artists, with a mix of emerging and established names.
The rooftop terrace café is one of Delhi's great under-appreciated pleasures — a quiet, leafy place for coffee and light food away from the city's noise. The cultural programme includes film screenings, poetry readings, and small theatrical productions. Entry to the galleries is free; performances are ticketed.
