Abstract:

Ancient Indian art shows the deep spiritual and philosophical beliefs of the Indian subcontinent. The artistic styles linked to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism are three big religious influences that shaped sculpture, buildings, and paintings in ancient India. These art forms started during the Mauryan, Kushan, and Gupta periods and later affected culture and religion in many parts of Asia.
