1.1.2. Bharat Bhavan,Bhopal 
Bharat Bhavan : 
Established in 1982, Bharat Bhavan is no doubt a centre for innovative creativity, pursuit 
of classics and tradition and wide participation in a new cultural upsurge. One of the most 
unique national institutes in India, Bharat Bhawan is a center for the performing and 
visual arts. 
Location: 
Bharat Bhavan is in the Shamla Hills. It is an independent trust created by the Legislature 
of Madhya Pradesh.
Designed by the renowned architect Charles Correa, its contours merge in exquisite 
harmony with the landscape creating a visual impact of spacious and national elegance. It 
is a place for contemporary articulation, exploration, reflection and innovation. 
The site is on a gently sloping plateau overlooking the lake in Bhopal. The natural 
contours of the site have been used to create a series of sunken courts and terrace gardens 
around which a number of cultural events are organized 
The terraces and courtyards once again reflect Correa’s concern with progression through 
space – the maze or puzzle – where parts are casually relieved and the complex of 
internal street act rather like a village layout.
It is a multi art centre housing a 
• museum of the arts, 
•an art gallery, 
• a workshop for fine arts, 
• a repertory theater, 
• indoor and outdoor auditoria 
•, rehearsal room, and 
• libraries of Indian poetry, classical and folk music
The site for this Art Centre is on a gently sloping hill overlooking the lake in Bhopal. The 
natural contours of the site have been used to create a series of terraced gardens and 
sunken courtyards - off which are located a number of cultural facilities, including a 
museum of Tribal Art, a library of Indian poetry (in all the 17 major languages), galleries 
for Contemporary Art, workshops for lithography and sculpture, and a studio for an 
artist-in-residence.
Bharat Bhavan also houses a full-fledged theatrical repertoire company and facilities for 
the performing arts, including the Antarang (indoor auditorium), and the Bhairang (open-air 
amphitheater), overlooking the lake.Lighting and ventilation within the building are 
provided by top lights (from the concrete shells and from slots along the terrace 
parapets). The openings to the courtyards and terraces have two sets of shutters: the inner 
ones consisting of a combination of fixed glass and operable panels for light and 
ventilation: the outer ones consisting of large wooden doors, closed at night for security.
