Cool stuff/counterculture/avant-garde

How is the modern arts scene in Delhi? The youth culture? Are there any bohemians? Artist colonies? Experimental cinema/music/multimedia?

Hi T Joseph and welcome to India Mike! Sure, there's a flourishing alternative art scene in Delhi! I can't give you much info, but someone here will surely come along to tell you more. Meanwhile you could take a look at fortnightly events in the Delhi Time Out magazine, here's the online version:

Fantastic. Is it pretty much the top location in India for these things?

Mumbai would be the place with the biggest art scene and cultural hub.But Delhi wouldn't be far behind :-)

Here's another link to an alternative art association in Delhi - they have some interesting workshops and exhibitions:

I guess Delhi is big on the Art Scene.

TimeOut Delhi gives a very good insight among the happenings of the month in Delhi in Art.

India Habitat Centre & Siri Fort etc are places where there is something happening everyday.

You just missed the OSIAN Film Festival which ended in New Delhi yesterday. It's an annual event.
