Delhi events in June

Up on the second floor at DAG, this exhibition brings colour to the deliciously monochrome mood that we know from Satyajit Ray’s films. Captured by celebrated photographer Nemai Ghosh, these vivid coloured photographs offer a rare glimpse into the life of one of India’s greatest artists, directors and music composers. Expect handwritten letters, annotated scripts, markings on old-school Kodak film reels, and striking behind-the-scenes imagery straight from Ray’s sets.

When: On until July 4. Open Mon-Sat, 11am-7pm.
Where: DAG, 22A Windsor Place, Janpath, New Delhi
Entry: Free

Fit for families of all sizes, the award-winning Rambo Circus returns on popular demand. It's a welcome throwback in a city where circus culture has all but disappeared into memory. The 90-minute spectacle packs in sky walking, a laser show, duo acts, and playful routines featuring slinkies, ball juggling and gravity-defying balance work. The real scene-stealers, though, are the giraffe cycle and unicycling.

When: June 20-28
Where: NCUI Auditorium
Tickets: ₹400 onwards

This one’s a bold, funny and deeply personal stand-up special from Shreya Priyam Roy. Staying true to her signature observational style, Roy digs into growing up, navigating relationships and the ongoing project of finding her identity. She brings a mix of dark comedy, disarming honesty and intelligent storytelling to the stage. Expect, too, the occasional detour into gloriously awkward family dynamics, just when you think you’ve recovered.

When: June 27, 5pm
Where:The Laugh Store, DLF, Cyberhub, Gurgaon
Tickets: ₹500

Delhi’s premium hotel chain, Taj, is back with a big-ticket musical flex: Padma Shri Hariharan in concert. Part of its ‘Live Concerts Series’ (this one’s episode 4), this follows earlier nights headlined by Rekha Bhardwaj, Shilpa Rao and Kailash Kher. Expect curated food and beverage pairings to match the mood. And then there’s Hariharan: playback, bhajan and ghazal legend with a catalogue nudging 15,000 songs across Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu and beyond. At this point, ‘versatile’ feels like an understatement.

When: June 27, 8pm
Where: Taj Palace Hotel, Delhi
Tickets: ₹5,000
