About NMACC's third anniversary bash

While the red carpet delivered its share of glamour, the evening itself underscored NMACC’s growing role as a platform for Indian art and global cultural exchange.

Founder Nita Ambani addressed the gathering, reflecting on the deeper cultural symbolism of the number three. Drawing from Indian philosophy, she spoke about the Trimurti – Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh – along with the three goddesses Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kali, and the sacred Triveni of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati.

“When we started the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, we made a promise to bring the best of India to the world and the best of the world to India,” she said, reiterating the centre’s vision of spotlighting Indian artists and artisans globally.
