The narrative of Indian Landscape Design. The exhibition - TRACING NARRATIVES attempts to create a lens; through which practitioners may care to evaluate the world of landscape design and its meanings today, and in the near future, or for the interested person who just wants to know about the world of landscape design, and certainly for the student, who may find the story of landscape design, enriching his or her thinking about design in general.
Another facet of this adventure is to make the idea of the garden, central to the discussion. The meaning or rather the many meanings of a garden are often forgotten, and the searching of these meanings will lead one to find the core of the profession; a place from where many forays not just in the world of design can well be launched.
After the team worked on it for 18 months, the exhibition is set to travel 15 cities in India started in December 2016.

The garden is an apparatus
By which to see self
Shadows of self A future self,
Or a self that may never exist;
The garden is an apparatus
By which to navigate the world
Rhythms of life And cycles of death:
meanings of patience and piety
The garden is an apparatus
In which to enact life
Its joys and sorrows
Its whimsical madness
And scholarly pursuits.
The garden is a rusty apparatus
Its time to mend it
And make it the centre of our being
Once more.
