Music, art, movement and conversation — hosted in a 1970s family bungalow in New Alipore, Kolkata.
The Courtyard Project began with a simple conviction — that the best evenings happen when people feel genuinely invited, not just ticketed.
We host intimate music, art, movement and conversation evenings at Kalpana, a 1970s family bungalow in New Alipore. Every event is shaped by our own taste and curiosity. There is no formula. There is just care — for the music we choose, the people we gather, and the feeling we leave you with.
TCP is run by Niharika and Aditya. Kalpana is our home. You are our guests.
"I forgot to check my phone."

The people voted — Love Aaj Kal won. We set up the screen, the popcorn, and the nostalgia. A sold-out evening nobody wanted to end.

December 2024 & February 2025
A morning of cyanotype printing followed by yoga with Mukulita — craft, movement, and the quiet magic of combining the two.
TCP is built on genuine partnerships — not sponsorships, not venue rentals. If you make music, art, food, or ideas that belong in a room like ours, we want to hear from you.
We work with artists, musicians, chefs, practitioners, and brands who share our belief that the right room changes everything.
Residential workshop series that take the TCP spirit out of the city. A few days, the right people, and the kind of work you can only do when you've slowed down enough to do it well.
Register interestTwo to three nights, away from the city. You arrive, you unplug, you work at the pace things actually want to move at.
Small by design. Every retreat is built for a group that can sit around one table and have a real conversation.
Each retreat is built around a specific practice — art, movement, writing, music. The same curatorial instinct as every TCP evening, just longer.
