culture

This modern Colaba gallery is one of the country’s best. Curated by two sisters, against a majestic backdrop of the Gateway of India, Jhaveri promotes original artists (no matter their nationality, gender or generation) whose work is guided by South Asian culture or tradition. Expect some luminary talent – they produced, for example, Anish Kapoor’s very first public exhibition in India, back in 2010 – as well as a future-facing approach to Indian art.
