\n\nDelhi's Jantar Mantar, which was denotified as a designated protest site earlier this month, has been chosen as one of the venues for the India Biennale 2026. The festival begins on December 4 and runs until March 21.
\n\nAccording to the Biennale’s website, the second edition takes its title from “the oldest answer to this newest condition”, the phrase “Tat Tvam Asi”, or “You Are That”. It describes this as the Upanishadic insight that the self is not separate from the world it beholds.
\n\nThe first India Art, Architecture and Design Biennale was held in 2023 at the Red Fort. This one is being billed as the second edition, and on a much bigger scale. Across Delhi, landmarks have been marked out as sites for exhibitions, immersive experiences and performances.
\n\nThe list of venues includes Purana Qila, the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Agrasen ki Baoli, Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung Tomb, Sabz Burj, the National Museum, Lodhi Garden, Sakri Ghumti, and Choti Ghumti, among others. Jantar Mantar is not listed on the official website at the moment, though it is reported that it will be added soon.
