Event Description : School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University Presents 'Early Indian Photography and the Complex Legacy of the Mughal Era' a lecture by Partha Mitter, Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Sussex.
 During the era of colonial expansion, the splendour of the Mughal Empire faded. Yet the aesthetic of the 16th- and 17th-century Mughal court remained deep within the Indian sensibility. This lecture explores the interplay of the Mughal aesthetic, modernity, and colonial authority in early Indian photography.
