Description
The stone- carving tradition in India is one of the richest in the world. Guilds of masons and stone carvers have existed here since the 7th century B. C. The skills were handed down as family lore from father to son, a practise prevalent in some parts of the country even today. The classical tradition of stone carving was closely linked with architecture. All major temples of India be it Puri, Konark, Khajuraho, Kailash Temple, or the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram illustrate the rich tradition of Indian stone carvings. These impressive sculptures on stone are mainly mythological in character. The focus of the theme was not merely on physical attributes, but on higher spiritual values of life. To give expression to such abstract conceptions, the sculptor consciously set for himself an ideal not based on the contemplation of the natural form, but upon meditation of the divine form. The distinctive power of suggestiveness is conspicuous in the sculpted forms.
