Last night in Mumbai, the iconic Jehangir Art Gallery, the city’s most prestigious art destination, celebrated its sixtieth anniversary with India Modern – an evening of art, fashion and music along with its patrons Harsh Goenka and Sangita Jindal.

The evening started with a vote of thanks by Bollywood actress Vidya Balan which was then followed by a fashion presentation by Sabyasachi Mukherjee to a soul stirring performance by Shubha Mudgal. Models walked the ramp with stars twinkling abovein the heavens, palm trees in the courtyard and the Prince of Wales Museum as a grand backdrop.
