About Nehru Centre
The Nehru Centre (TNC) acts as the cultural wing of The High Commission of India in UK. Established in 1992, it is regarded by ICCR as its flagship cultural centre abroad, and has, over the years, emerged as a premier institution engaged in India’s cultural interface with UK.
The Centre organises a wide range of cultural events on its premises, showcasing Indian music, dance and theatre, besides a range of activities aimed at strengthening and deepening the intellectual dialogue between the two countries, including exhibitions, lectures, illustrated talks, book launches, film screenings, workshops, seminars and round tables.
Director’s message
We are celebrating 100 years of Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali this month along with his 151th birthday. Two special events will mark this occasion, an exhibition+film, Gurudev 1861-1941, and commemoration of the doyens of Tagore's repertoire and legacy, Maya Sen, Ritu Guha and Suchitra Mitra, who died recently. They specialised in various aspects of Gurudev's music.
Join the film-maker Benoy K Behl, as he repeats the journey of the Great Guru, across the cold deserts of Ladakh and Spiti. Besides mounting an exhibition, The Greatest Journey of Ideas: The Spread of Buddhism, he will be screening his two films, The Path of Compassion, and The Second Buddha.
