Uttarakhand Art

Indian art is amply rich and varied. It has been so over the centuries. The purpose of Indian Art like all folk and traditional art is primarily to instruct men in the great first causes which govern the material spiritual and celestial worlds. Art is dedicated to communicating these great truths to mankind. In India including Uttarakhand art like life is closely linked to religion. Indian art as well as the art of Uttarakhand is life as interpreted by religion and philosophy. As Dale Maurice Riepe (1979) has said It is correct to say about Indian philosophy that it developed its own logic the syllogism analysis of fallacies epistemology of various types a great variety of metaphysics various type of ethical systems and today it forms a battleground of competing viewpoints most of which are subjectivist and idealistic but which are shifting toward realistic naturalistic and materialistic viewpoints. Art and Philosophy are interlinked.
