In Delhi, an echo of Deco

As the Art Deco movement turns 100, its legacy still shimmers across Indian cities — not just in Mumbai’s famed skyline, but in the quiet curves of Delhi’s old hotels, houses, and cinemas. Introduced to India in the 1930s, the style brought with it sweeping balconies, fluted columns, and streamlined facades.

Within these curved walls and shaded windows, Ambedkar helped shape the Indian Constitution for the next four years. (Mayank Austen Soofi)
