Lokayata Art Gallery
A close-knit community of lovers, creators and critics of art.
About Us
“Lokāyata” means the philosophy of the people, a materialistic philosophical system that accepts perception as the only pramāna. The sculpture of “IGUANA” on the gallery’s crown, stands 100 ft. long symbolizing the struggle between modern society and nature. Its location here at the gallery signifies the need to rule out the hypocrisies of our society and admire & promote all forms of art indiscriminately.
In a prime location, just a minute’s walk from Hauz Khas fort built by Allauddin Khilji and Deer park, and with a total floor space of 10,000 square feet, Lokayata is a cutting edge art gallery that thrives on creativity and the opportunity to inspire. Revived in 2020, Lokayata strives to be an institution that invites fluid & versatile ideas and wishes to provide a platform for them all.

President’s Vision
Sanjeev Verma
Since 1960, Lokayata has aspired to uncover and explore the full potential of art in India, through promotion and showcasing of the very best that Indian art has to offer. Today, under the leadership of Mr Sanjeev Verma, Lokayata Art Gallery strives to fulfil Anand’s vision. With the mission of making art accessible to all through exhibitions of the work of both emerging and established artists and displaying art styles from diverse cultural backgrounds, Lokayata wants to paint the Indian art scene anew with an array of fresh colours.
We at Lokayata host several cultural events in an attempt to preserve and promote the rich heritage of our country while contributing our bit for social causes. Our never-ending journey to explore the hidden gems of the art industry has surprised us time and again and we wish to keep experiencing that effervescence forever.
A creative & far-sighted thought
of Mulk Raj Anand
A visionary at heart, Mulk Raj Anand was one of the finest patrons of the Indian arts. His desire to bring to the Indian art scene the global art exhibition format with the establishment of the country’s first Triennale of Contemporary World Art marked the beginning of Lokayata’s journey.

"Art is not a thing its a way"
- Albert Hubbard
Artists At Work
It seems hard to comprehend the meaning of the painting when it is a work in progress but as the wandering hands of the artist continue to keep pouring their creativity onto the canvas, those simple strokes of paint brushes dipped in a myriad of colours start taking form revealing the essence of the artwork, the ideas and emotions of the artist. It’s a delightful sight that keeps your heart mesmerized to the point that you often forget to blink.
