India the colorful and vibrant land is as diverse as its people. The mosaic of art and culture, the potpourri of tradition, India stands as one of the oldest living civilization which offered to the rest of the world the elemental sound ‘aum,’ the concept of zero and the richness of yoga. A treasure of art and culture, India is just not a land but the storehouse of beauty, dream, tradition and verve. |
The origin of Indian Paintings dates back to antiquity. It is evident from the murals of Ajanta, Ellora and other frescoes arts, the palm leaf manuscripts, the Jain texts and the Deccan, Mughal and Kangra schools of miniature Indian arts & painting. With ancient texts outlining theories of colour and anecdotal accounts, the Indian paintings depict romance, reality, dreams, joy, sorrow, devotion and a gamut of other human emotions.
