A selection from the collection of Indian textiles from Banoo and Jeevak Parpia will showcase more than 70 textiles from folk textiles to sophisticated court textiles. Produced between the 14th to early 20th centuries, these works convey the pre-eminence of textile arts produced in India. The exhibition also explores the patterns and dynamics of 500 years of the prosperous maritime trade that supplied Indian textiles to Southeast Asia, Europe and Japan.
