commonly had a religious character and Buddhism, Hinduism, and later Islam,
symbolism in gesture, posture, and attribute contains many levels of meaning.
They have been a common theme throughout the centuries. The pieces
often feature mythological, human, and animal forms and had elaborate
ornaments. Indian art consists of a variety of art forms, including painting
sculpture, pottery, and textile.
Period of Indian art

The earliest Indian art emerged from the valley of the Indus River during the
second half of the 3d millennium BC.
• Ancient Period (3900 BCE-1200 CE)

Bronze and copper statuettes, as well as steatite seals, are examples of early
civilization art that demonstrate energy and attention for surface texture, as
seen in Indian art.

The Ajanta Caves of Maharashtra,

India are 30 rock-cut cave
monuments that date back from
the 2nd century BCE to the 600
CE, including paintings and
sculptures considered to be
masterpieces of Buddhist
religious art, as well as frescos

programs of Hindu temples, stone and terra-
cotta relief sculptures showing participants and
scenes from the two main ancient Indian epics,
the Ramayana (Adventures of Rama) and the
Mahabharata ([War of the] Great Bharatas),

Mahabharata as Krishna and the Ramayana as
Rama, grew greatly during this time, as did the

 Islamic Ascendancy (1192-1757) or Transitional Period

This was the time when Vedism was evolving into Hinduism or Brahmanism. The
Mahabharata and the Ramayana, two famous Indian epics, were popular during
this time.

• Mogul period (16th Century)

In painting and architecture, the Moguls contributed to the enrichment of Indian

culture. The Taj Mahal, erected in 1632 by Shah Jahan in honor of his wife, is the
most magnificent example of architecture that is developed in this period.

Mughal painting, usually written Mogul, is a type of painting that developed in

India during the reigns of the Mughal emperors (16th–18th centuries), mostly for
book illustration and the manufacture of individual miniatures. Its early stages
displayed some affinities with the Safavid school of Persian painting, but it
quickly drifted away from Persian ideals. The illustrated folktale Tuti-nameh
("Tales of a Parrot") at the Cleveland (Ohio) Museum of Art is probably the first
example of Mughal art.

Diwali is a Hindu festival of lights held in the months of October and November
to celebrate the new season and the end of the monsoon season. It is especially
linked with Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and marks the start of the Indian
financial year.

It's the Hindu New Year and depending on where you're from, it's either a 3-day
or 5-day holiday.

It is a vibrant and joyous celebration in which homes are cleaned to greet the
New Year and windows are opened to allow Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of
riches, to enter. Because Hindus believe she can't enter a house that isn't lit up,
every household lights unique Diwali clay lamps (diyas) to light the way for the
goddess, the festival is also known as the 'Festival of Lights

Diyas are lit and placed in rows around the parapets of temples and residences,
as well as adrift on rivers and streams, during the celebration. Rangoli, intricate
designs constructed of colored rice, sand, or flower petals, are used to decorate
homes and cover floors both inside and out. Houses' doors and windows are left
open in the hopes that Lakshmi will enter and bless the people with wealth and
prosperity.

Rangoli is one of India's most beautiful and appealing art forms. It is made up of
two words: ring, which means "color," and aavalli, which means "colored
creepers" or "row of colors." Rangoli is a technique for creating designs or
patterns on the walls or floors of a home using finely ground white powder and
other colors. Rangoli designs are used by many homes across the Indian
subcontinent to decorate their home's courtyard.

Rangoli was traditionally created out of designs and themes inspired by nature,
such as mangoes, creepers, and flowers.

Swans, peacocks, and other birds Even the colors in the room the traditional art
form were taken out of natural dyes, such as tree bark, leaves, and flowers,
Plants that produce indigo, for example. Synthetic materials are now widely
used. The use of dyes has mostly supplanted the use of pigments. Natural dyes
from a bygone era

The materials used in the Rangoli patterns of today give either a very flat

Pakistan is one of the South Asian countries. In Urdu and Persian, the
name Pakistan means "Land of the Pure." Pakistan is ruled by four major ethnic
groups: Punjabis, Pashtuns, Sindhis, and Balochi. The traditional outfit for both
men and women is shalwar kameez (trousers), however, men also wear jeans
and shirts. There are various festivals in Pakistan, such as Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr,
Eid-ul-Azha, Christmas, Easter, Holi, and Diwali. These are considered the most
religious amongst all their festivals.

Architecture

Pakistan architecture was divided into 4 recognized periods; Pre-Islamic, Islamic,

Colonial, Post-colonial. Pakistan contributes with the other unit of South Asia, the
great Mughal heritage in art, literature, architecture, and manners.

Around the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE, an advanced urban culture
developed for the first time in the region, with large buildings, some of which still
survive to this day like Mohenjo Daro, Harappa, and Kot Diji which are among the
pre-Islamic settlements that are now tourist attractions.
