In both its traditional and modern manifestations, Indian art exhibits a powerful sense of design and a vivid imagination. These are reflected in sculptures, paintings, murals, architecture, coins, and items of personal adornment like jewellery, clothing, and more. Surviving the vagaries of time, many of these artefacts are now preserved in museums, archaeological sites and cultural institutions. These seemingly ordinary artefacts act as a repository of knowledge that conveys information about the society of their time.

Timeless Trends celebrates the interconnectedness of the past and the present and attempts to discover the links between the cultures and traditions we cherish, the structures and sites that dot our modern landscapes, and the little things that we do and say every day.
