Indian Art

India has always been an opulent country regarding art and culture.Since the ancient age, the art movement has been enriching the country in various ways.One can easily find the magnificence of ancient art in our famous caves like Ajanta,Ellora and Elephanta and the temples in the different parts of India.If we go by the Hindu mythology,India has got more than thirty three crores of Gods and Goddesses to worship and that's why you can find a temple in every corner of the country and in the temples you would see a unique,sublime icon as the Almighty.Just think about the creators of these magnificent stone-carved icons.They are simply stunning and you would feel real joy and peace by seeing them.They are age-old and beautiful,magestic.If you visit the famous Jagannath temple of Puri which is situated in the Indian state of Orissa,a question might tickle your brain regarding the architecture and the sculptures.How it was created when there was no crane to lift the stones.Frankly,crane was not invented that time.

In West Bengal, you can find a place called Bishnupur.You can see a lot of temples out there that are made of Terra-Cottah, the burnt clay. These temples speak about a different architectural grandeur but everywhere you can find a lot of stories depicted on the wall through that architectural efficiency.

Rajasthan enjoys a good number of palaces, forts and castles.If you want to know the life-styles of the rajput Kings you would come accross various beautiful paintings and sculptures in their court-yards.A lot of forts have been converted onto deluxe hotels and they have created eye-catching,royal galleries to exhibit the things.

Art is always connected to the religious belief and the cross-cultural impact. Indian history shows that the country had witnessed the rulers of almost all the religions like Hindu,Muslim even Christians at the British time and the art and culture evolved everytime.That's why Indian art is a blend of all the beautiful things that a creator can ever think about.It has age-old genuinity and an open door towards learning different things from all the impacts.Truely,it's a global culture that has generated a sublime fusion that speaks about the beautiful life.
