Summary: Focusing on contemporary currents and tendency, the exhibition complements last year’s hit exhibition 'Chalo! India' which had been devoted to the established art scene of India. The banyan tree in the title symbolises “the miracle that is India”. Marked by a prolific and tightly interwoven aerial root-system, the tree is said to have the miraculous power to grant wishes. Legend has it that Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment while sitting under a banyan tree in the city of Bodhgaya. Nowadays, the shade-giving tree is a popular place of encounter or recreation for the Indian population.
