Event Details : SRDC Heritage Walk in Replica Museum in Siri Fort.
Espousing the rich Indian tradition of creating art that has lasted over centuries, the Delhi Circle of the Archaeological Survey of India has put together a collection of replicas of rare art work and sculptures from across the subcontinent from different periods in time at its Replica Museum in Siri Fort.
The Replica Museum, which had several replicas installed last year, was conceived by Mr. Muhammed. At present, it has 20 completed pieces that are displayed in the gallery with complete details.
Some sculptures like ‘Ravana shaking Kailash' (Ellora, Maharashtra), ‘Varaha lifting Mother Earth' (Udaigiri, Madhya Pradesh) and ‘Arjuna's Penance' (Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu) bring alive the entire narrative as recorded in mythology.
The replicas have been created by students of Fine Arts at Benaras Hindu University.

The walk will be presented by Dr. K.K. Muhammad, ASI Delhi Circle Superintending Archaeologist and Dr. Navina Jafa, Heritage Consultant, Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation
