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 scupltures.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
beautifuk 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.
