​KEY IDEAS
  • Indian Art stresses the interconnectiveness of all the arts: architecture, painting, and sculpture.
  • Buddhist and Hindu philosophies form a background to Indian artistic thought.
  • A blend of various people who invaded India create the unique culture.

BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHIES
  • Teaches individuals how to cope in the world full or misery.
  • Buddha, Siddhartha, when he was a prince first, rejected worldly concerns and courtly life and decided to live in the country.
  • Believes in reincarnation, a cycle of birth and rebirth.
  • Enlightenment, or reaching Nirvana, ends the cycle, through good deeds and living a devotional life to charities, religious fervor, and love of all.

COMMON THEMES OF BUDDISM
  • The Lion = Buddha's initial royalty
  • The Wheel (chakra) = Buddha's law
  • The Lotus = Buddha's pure nature
  • Columns surrounds by a wheel = Buddha's teachings
  • Empty throne, umbrella, footsteps, lone wheel, Bodhi tree = Buddha

HINDU PHILOSOPHIES
  • Many different sects of Hinduism
  • Belief in the infinite variety of the divine: nature, gods, humans
  • Orthodox Hindus accept the Vedic (ancient Sanskrit)  texts as divine (sacred scriptures)
  • Vedic texts assign Brahmins (a caste of ritual specialists)
  • Enlightenment, or reaching Nirvana, ends the cycle, through good deeds and living a devotional life to charities, religious fervor, and love of all.​
