Hyderabad: Entrepreneur, photographer and social media influencer Allu Sneha Reddy, wife of actor Allu Arjun, has joined Baoli Art Sangam, India’s First Stepwell Art Biennale, as its Founding Chairperson – Culture & Heritage.
Bringing together more than 200 artists across 13+ historic stepwells and heritage spaces, the biennale offers a unique platform to celebrate Hyderabad’s cultural heritage through contemporary art, performances and immersive experiences. The stepwells, long admired as marvels of architecture and water management, will serve as living galleries, blending the city’s past with present-day creative expression.
Sharing her excitement about the association, Sneha Reddy said she was delighted to be part of Baoli Art Sangam in her new role. She said she looks forward to being part of the initiative and to helping foster a deeper appreciation of the city’s history and heritage, especially among the younger generation.
Calling the initiative a meaningful step towards preserving culture and heritage for generations to come, she highlighted the importance of connecting young people with the stories and spaces that have shaped Hyderabad’s identity.
Known for her work as an entrepreneur and photographer, and for her wide following on social media, Sneha Reddy brings a fresh and influential voice to the biennale. Her involvement is expected to draw greater attention to the event and encourage wider public participation, particularly among younger audiences.
Baoli Art Sangam was conceptualized by Kalpana Ramesh of The Rainwater Project and Annapurna Madipadiga of EkChitra to revive historic Deccan stepwells through contemporary art, culture, and community engagement. With its focus on reviving forgotten heritage sites through art, Baoli Art Sangam aims to create a lasting cultural dialogue between artists, historians and the public, while reinforcing the importance of protecting India’s architectural and water heritage.
The 40-day festival is scheduled to run from December 1, 2026, to January 10, 2027, activating around 13 historic stepwells and heritage sites across Hyderabad (such as Bansilalpet, Golkonda, Rashtrapati Nilayam, and Falaknuma).
