More Details:
- The mural artwork is a part of DMRC’s continuous efforts to utilise its premises for the promotion of art, culture and the heritage of India. DMRC has already collaborated with a number of NGOs, schools and independent artists to create public art on its stations on a variety of themes.
- This public mural, located at Dwarka Sector-14 Metro Station, is a joint effort of DMRC, creative vision of the students of Nirmal Bhartia School and their collaborative effort with the Vayeda Brothers’ St+Art India Foundation.
