Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, will inaugurate 'Shunyata', an art exhibition by Abhay K, focusing on the Buddhist concept of emptiness. The display, at the National Museum in New Delhi, showcases art that bridges transience with spiritual introspection and will run until December 8.

Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, is set to open 'Shunyata', a captivating exhibition of paintings by renowned Indian artist, poet, and diplomat Abhay K, on November 29 at the National Museum in New Delhi.

The exhibition will feature Abhay K's visual interpretation of the Buddhist concept of emptiness, a principle that stems from Pratityasamutpada, or Dependent Origination.

Open to the public until December 8, the exhibition promises to be a profound exploration of the Buddhist philosophy of Shunyata.
