A glimpse on history of art!

Art is as ancient as civilization itself, with the oldest Indian art form – the Bhimbetka cave paintings, being around 30,000 years old. Throughout history, art has benefitted early humans by aiding in communication, education and cooperation. It has also helped us accurately reflect on past society by evoking moments of the bygone eras and traditional Indian art forms through visual stimulus. Our most notable art forms, such as the Indus Valley Art of 2nd century BC, Chola art of the medieval times, and the Mughal paintings from the 15th to 19th Century, are all steeped in a rich layer of cultural heritage that mirror their times.
