11 new art shows in India we’re excited about this March

Bon Manush, Bangladeshi artist Shikh Sabbir Alam’s first solo show in India, explores the interconnected relationship of man and nature, with the title in Bangla also alluding to a man being detached from the pleasures of urban life. Through his freehand drawings and deeply evocative paintings, Alam explores how shapes, colours and patterns form in our minds while offering a sense of how we perceive the natural world around us with our sense of sight immediately evoking different experiences of smell, taste and touch.

On view at Experimenter, 45, Ballygunge Place, Ballygunge, Kolkata, until 29th March 2025

Rarely do history, art, architecture and culture converge so well. Manik Bagh, the home of Maharaja Yashwant Rao Holkar II of Indore, was one such place, brought to life through the visions of young German architect Eckart Muthesius. This exhibition, curated by Raffael Dedo Gadebusch and hosted in partnership with the Museum of Asian Art, Berlin and the German Consulate General, Bengaluru, traces the creation and magnificence of Manik Bagh while exploring the relationship the royal shared with his architect. Featuring rare vintage photographs, portraits, watercolours and design studies by Muthesius himself, the showcase promises a glimpse into the intricacies of a symbol of architectural excellence as well as the creative genius of its makers.
