A Pictorial Biography of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Commemorating the 32nd anniversary of His Holiness receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2021, the Foundation collaborated with Tibet Museum and India Habitat Centre to put together its annual edition of ‘The Dalai Lama in Frames’. The exhibition was curated as a pictorial biography of His Holiness’ life, focusing on his journey and efforts to promote human values, inter-religious harmony, India’s civilisational heritage and the preservation of Tibet’s religion and culture.

A fresh exhibition of photographs was also curated for His Holiness’ 87th birthday, spanning 4th to 7th July, 2022. The theme for this year’s exhibition was His Holiness’ commitment towards interfaith harmony and captured the wide breadth of his interactions with the leaders and traditions of different faiths.

Dalai Lama Framed in Pictures & Anecdotes

The exhibition ‘Dalai Lama Framed in Pictures and Anecdotes’ was inspired by the book His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 100 Anecdotes, authored by Arthy Muthanna Singh and Mama Nainy. Drawing on several anecdotes from the book, the exhibition commemorates His Holiness receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for his peaceful solutions based on tolerance and mutual respect to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people. The publisher, Penguin Random House, granted the Foundation permission to use text from the book while the accompanying photographs were generously donated by the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tibet Museum and the Library of Tibetan Works & Archives. The exhibition was on display from 9th–26th December 2022.
