The Marg Foundation

About us

Marg is a Mumbai-based not-for-profit publisher whose mission is to augment interest in Indian art and culture. It strives to light up “many dark corners” in India’s cultural landscape and to spark debate on all aspects of art and culture among academics, critics, cultural connoisseurs and readers.

Since its inception in 1946, Marg, A Magazine of the Arts, with its focus on grids of art and cultural traditions, reflects new trends, new research, and new scholarship, with both upcoming and established art historians and scholars. The magazine is aimed at a wide audience.

Marg’s quarterly books, initially published simultaneously with the magazine, have since diverged into independent publications. These books are available on subscription at special rates.

Marg’s special publications represent the diverse avenues Marg pursues in documenting Indian art and culture. These are published in a variety of formats with informative writing and are lavishly illustrated.

Marg produces films on India’s art and architectural heritage, combining evocative visuals with the latest information on sites from Art Historians and Archaeologists at the forefront of the site's research.
