From goddesses to leaders, artists and doctors, who strove for new horizons for their families — the collections reveal the many facets of women in India, and the impact they’ve had on building and shaping the nation as it stands today.

Unveiling over fifty new virtual exhibitions with more than 1800 artworks, photographs and videos, the project shines a light on the contributions of women to India’s culture – and captures stories of India’s Unsung Heroines. Visitors tog.co/WomenOfIndia can read immersive narratives about exemplars like Dr. Rakhmabai (the first practicing woman doctor) and Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddi (the first woman legislator), featuring artworks by several young women artists.

It is our ongoing effort to make important cultural material available and accessible to everyone and to digitally preserve it to educate and inspire future generations.”
