In this episode, Jonny speaks with Dr Sushma Jansari, lead curator of Ancient India: living traditions at the British Museum, about the featured ancient Indian devotional imagery across Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Exploring the exhibition in depth, they discuss how sacred figures evolved from symbolic footprints to human forms, and how the exhibition connects these shared origins to contemporary practices, particularly in the South Asian diaspora. It is the British Museum’s first major multi-faith exhibition on ancient South Asian devotional art, spotlighting its global relevance and deep ties to living communities.

Ancient India: living traditions runs at the British Museum from 22 May to 19 October 2025, featuring over 180 objects: sculptures, paintings, manuscripts and more.
