Indian Art and Religion: The Ultimate Philosophy Through the Ages

Abstract

Just as cultivation is vital for existence of human beings, similarly art is an inherent part of human life. It is believed that in India, religion and art were born simultaneously because in early Indian art the primordial goal and subject matter was religion. It originated in a globe imbued with a deeply spiritual ambience whose infinite conglomeration of hues is core of Indian culture. Indian artists skillfully articulated the capital aim of Indian art, which were meditation and salvation. Every artisan was more like a saint who dedicated his art to society and religion. Indian art is essentially established on philosophical theories which consequently led to the creation of such an art which was a synthesis of aesthetic sense and internal discernment. This eventually led the common man to euphoria and helped him to perceive God.
