Marg, a magazine dedicated to the arts, was first published in October 1946, a year before India's independence. The publication was founded by novelist andwriter Mulk Raj Anand, who served as Editor for several of its volumes, and supported by the industrialist and philanthropist J.R.D. Tata.

Over the next decades, Anand, along with Assistant Editor Anil de Silva and Art Advisor Karl Khandalavala, led and firmly established this independent quarterly journal as one of the country's most well-regarded publications in the fields of art and architecture.
