Indian art is consisted of a variety of art forms, including painting, pottery, and textile arts such as
woven silk. A strong sense of design is characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern and
traditional forms.
The origin of Indian art can be traced to Prehistoric settlements in the 3rd Millennium BC. On its
way to modern times, Indian art has had cultural influences, as well as religious influences such as Hinduism,
Buddhism, and Islam. Despite this complex mixture of religious traditions, generally, the prevailing artistic
style at any time and place has been shared by the major religious groups. In historic art, sculpture in stone
and metal, mainly religious, has survived the Indian climate better than other media and provides most of the
best remains.

● Mogul Period (16th century)
Moguls contributed to the enrichment of Indian culture, in painting and in architecture. The most splendid
example is the Taj Mahal, built in 1632 by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife.
DIWALI
Diwali is celebrated by Hindus in India and all around the world in October or November. It is the
Hindu New Year. It is a very exciting and colorful holiday, where homes are cleaned to welcome the New
Year and windows are opened so that the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, can enter. Hindus believed
that she cannot enter a house which is not lit up, so every household burns special Diwali clay lamps (diyas)
to light the way for the goddess, which is why the holiday is also known as the 'Festival of Lights'.
RANGOLI
Rangoli is one of the most beautiful and most pleasing art forms of India. It is comprised of two words:
‘rang' meaning 'color' and 'aavalli' meaning 'colored creepers' or 'row of colors'. Rangoli, the art of making
designs or patterns on the walls or the floor of the house. The traditional form of Rangoli made use of designs
and motifs based on nature, such as mangoes, creepers, flowers, swans, peacocks, etc. Even the colors in
the traditional art form were extracted from natural dyes, like barks of trees, leaves, etc. These days, synthetic
dyes have replaced the natural dyes of the earlier times. The materials used in the Rangoli patterns of today
give either a very flat appearance or a 3-D effect. Rangoli designs include geometric patterns, lotus, trident,
fish, conch, creepers, leaves, trees, flowers, animals, etc.
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 1.Mohenjo Daro, 2.Harappa,and 3.Kot
Diji which are among the pre-Islamic settlements that are now tourist attractions.
Across Pakistan, brightly colored flamboyant trucks, painted with images of idealized landscapes,
famous personalities, flowers, and trees, turned village lanes, city streets, and long-distance highways into a
gallery without walls; a free-form, kaleidoscopic exhibition in motion.
