These walks will provide an insight into the historical aspects of the location, the stories behind the project and each one of the murals.

Acclaimed international and national street artists worked on the walls between Khanna market and Meherchand market to convert Lodhi colony into India’s first public art district. 30 murals have been created so far, transforming this centrally located area into a democratic open air museum. A tour leader by the St+art team will provide insights into the history of the colony, the project, the backgrounds and contexts of the works.
