The Festival is organized by Osian’s Connoisseurs of Art, India’s pioneering arts institution and auction house established in 2000, to create a merit-oriented and financially independent cultural infrastructure. This year it the Festival takes place from 20 to 29 July 2007 in seven theatres in New Delhi.
