ML Bhartia Auditorium
Our auditorium is an intimate 112-seater venue that has hosted a wide range of artistic and cultural events since its inception. Film screenings (including film festivals), dance performances, intimate music recitals, theatre productions, conferences, and seminars have all been held here.
Ideally suited for small-scale events, the auditorium is equipped with essential audiovisual, lighting, and projection facilities. It overlooks a lush garden on one side and a spacious open area featuring a majestic old tree and a sunken courtyard, which can accommodate audience spillover when required.
The warm, inviting interior is enhanced by sleek, ergonomically designed seating with an ash wood finish. The infrastructure is completed by a stage measuring 9.5 × 5 metres (16’ × 31.5’) and two green rooms with attached toilets.

Galerie Romain Rolland
Named after the French novelist, mystic, pacifist, and Nobel Laureate—renowned not only for his deep affection for India but also for his belief that art must strive to awaken and enlighten society—the gallery spans an area of 180 square metres. Over the years, it has hosted numerous artists and exhibitions, establishing itself as a prime venue for artistic expression across diverse genres and traditions.
Rising from the basement, a section of the gallery soars to a height of 40 feet, forming a striking glass enclosure that floods the space with natural light. This design enhances large-scale displays and banners, gently illuminated by filtered sunlight, making the gallery a visually arresting landmark even from the road. The intimate open area at the lower level is ideal for the display of sculptures and also serves as a welcoming space for receptions during exhibition openings.
