What is It

Let’s Explore South Asian Arts

Periods of Indian Arts

Ancient Period

Some evidences of the early civilization are bronze and copper statues and steatite
seals which show vigor and concern for surface texture as characterized 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 that are reminiscent of the
Sigiriya paintings in Sri Lanka.

Figure 1 Shows the Ajanta Caves

of Maharashtra

trip-ajanta-caves-aurangabad-
india/)

Classical Period

The image of Shiva, the destroyer, develops into Shiva the Cosmic - dancer
represented by a four - armed figure. In this figure, one hand holds the fire with which he
destroys, another holds a drum, which is the first sound heard in the world during creation,
then the third arm points up in a reassuring gesture and a fourth arm points down to the dwarf
in which he dances to.

 Figure 2 shows SHIVA the destroyer, develops into
Shiva the Cosmic - dancer represented by a
four - armed figure.

Islamic Ascendancy or Transitional Period

This was the period of evolution from Vedism into Hinduism or Brahmanism. The two
great Indian epics: the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, emerged in this period.

Figure3 shows the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

The epics were written during the
later half of the second millennium and the first half of
the first millennium before the Christian Era.
(https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/dutt-the-ramayana-and-
the-mahabharata)

Mogul Period

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.

Figure 4 shows The Taj Mahal. It is an

ivory-white marble mausoleum on the southern bank of
the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra

Diwali is celebrated by Hindus in India and all around the world in October or
November. It is the Hindu New Year and is either a 3-day or 5-day holiday depending on where
you come from.

5
 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 believe 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. This is why the holiday is
also known as the “Festival of Lights “.

Figure 5 shows Diwali. It is a festival of lights and one of

the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs.

Rangoli

Rangoli is one of the most beautiful and most pleasing art forms of India. It comes from
the words “rang” meaning color and “aavalli “meaning “colored creepers” or “row of colors.”
Rangoli is the art of making designs or patterns on the walls or the floor of the house using
finely ground white powder along with different colors. Numerous households in the Indian
subcontinent makes use of rangoli designs for decorating the courtyard of their houses.

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, indigo plant, etc. These
days, synthetic dyes have more or less 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 includes geometric patterns, the swastika, lotus, trident, fish,
conch, creepers, leaves, trees, flowers, animals, etc.

Figure 6 shows Rangoli. It is one of the most beautiful

and most pleasing art forms of India.

 Pakistan

Pakistani architecture is divided into four recognized periods. This includes Pre-
Islamic, Islamic, Colonial and Post – Colonial.

Around the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE, an advanced urban culture developed
for the first time in the region. Large buildings were built 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.

Figure 7 shows Mohenjo Daro. It is an archaeological

site in the province of Sindh, Pakistan.

The Harappan architecture and Harappan Civilization
was one of the most developed in the old Bronze Age.

Figure 9 shows Kot Diji. It was the forerunner of the

Indus Civilization.

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.
Other arts of Pakistan include painted chests and jars.

Let’s Explore the Central Asian Arts

Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan

People who inhabited the region of present Uzbekistan are known for making printed
cloth. Printed tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads, shawls and various coverlets were utilitarian
and served as a daily round ornament as well.

Uzbekistan ceramics hold a prominent place among the numerous forms of popular
applied art. Applied arts in ancient Kazakhstan were part of life’s daily routine.

Clothing, utility tools, yurts and horses’ saddles were always decorated using nomadic
patterns and design.

Kazakhstan’s visual arts are relatively young. In ancient times, nomads used to draw
on rocks. Today, these petroglyphs can be found throughout Kazakhstan.

Fine art in Kazakhstan varies in style, direction and genre. The most captivating work
by Kazakhstan artists in different periods can be seen in museums across the country.

Tajiks have been making fabrics, utensils, musical instruments, carpets, furniture,
jewelries, and many other things for many centuries. The art of decorative carving is very
important for local residents. Carving is mostly present in architectural monuments, household
structures and objects, musical instruments and souvenirs.

When Islam came, Tajik’s carving gradually changed to Arabian inscription using
images of people and animals while some carvers prefer “vegetative”, geometrical patterns.
In architecture, ornaments in the form of lotus, tulips, and other flowers are common.

-xv) tional-tajik-woodcarving/)

Turkmenistan and Kyrgystan

The traditional arts include felt manufacture, jewelry making, woodwork, ceramics, and
silverwork.

The most unique and beautiful carpets have been traditionally woven out of wool,
cotton, and silk by women, using horizontal looms. The method of weaving has been
modernized but the beauty and quality of the fabrics remain.

Turkmenistan is also the source of keteni, a homespun silk that is used for the beautiful
dresses worn by Turkmen women on special occasions. The embroidery uses different
patterns that are as unique as a family seal.

Kyrgyz women produce a wide range of textiles, mostly from the felt of their sheep.
Nowadays, ancient patterns are adapted to the tourist and export market, but it is still a living
tradition and that all yurts and most houses contain hand-made carpets of rugs called
shirdaks.

Large elaborately embroidered wall hangings called tush kyiz are traditionally made
in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, by elder women to commemorate the marriage of a son or
daughter.

Colors and designs are chosen to symbolize Kyrgyz tradition and rural life. Flowers,
plants, animals, stylized horns, national designs and emblems of Kyrgyz life are often found
in these ornate and colorful embroideries.

Flat cushions called xxx are usually made in shadow-pairs.

Let’s Explore West Asian Arts

Arts and Crafts of West Asia

West Asia is rich in cultural heritage. This is clearly evident in the variety and quality of
regional arts and crafts.

Typical artistic forms from the regions includes embroidery, ceramics, wood carving,
hammered metal work, calligraphy, inlaid wood designs, blown glassworks.

Although these are some of the most acclaimed art forms contributed by West Asia,
their aesthetics can be seen in almost any product from the region even including such things
as handmade soap from Syria or Lebanon.

West Asiatic or Mesopotamian architecture started on 4000 to 2100 B.C. present day
Iraq and Iran. The fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates river who is been named
“Mesopotamia or the land between two rivers”. The Mesopotamian cultures did great things
by exploiting their rivers.

10
 Example of Western Asian Architecture is the Ziggurat, Birs-Nimroud (Borsippa),
rebuilt by Nebuchadnezzar, when excavated by Sir Henry Rawlinson was in a sufficiently
recognizable condition to be described as typical of others. It stood 272 ft. square, and was
160 ft. high, crowned with a temple shrine to the god Nebo. Four receding stories have been
traced, round which a sloping terrace reached the top, but a cylinder record on the site shows
that there had been seven stories glowing in glazed bricks of seven different colors and
dedicated to the seven heavenly planets. We cannot fail to connect these Babylonian ziggurats
with the Bible story of the building of the Tower of Babel.
