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. The question of how art has evolved over time is reflected in our most notable art forms, such as the Indus Valley Art of the 2nd century BC, Chola art of the medieval times, and the Mughal paintings from the 15th to 19th Century, all steeped in a rich layer of cultural heritage that mirrors their times. | Art is as ancient as civilization itself, with the oldest Indian art form – the Bhimbetka cave paintings, being around 30,000 years old.

As far back as the Stone Age, after the tribal groups went hunting, fishing and farming, they described their labour and life on rocks, carving totemic signs that became hieroglyphs, in order to convey the scenes of labour activities to their tribesmen. This is the origin of painting that marked the birth of primitive art. To celebrate the harvest of farming, hunting or fishing, the primitive tribesmen gathered together, cheering and singing, stomping and stamping to show their happiness. This is the prototype of dancing and singing. | |||
