The art of India has fascinated many from days of old. The vision of man from centuries found expression in stone , brass, bronze, gold, silver and many more. As man created divinity , God manifested himself in the craft of wall carved frescos, statues and handmade embellishments!
The might of the natural elements Fire, Water, Earth and Air was reincarnated and born to the beauty of Man, Art and Tradition, translated itself in the cultural bonanza of various international hues and color.....However the creation of art knew not the boundaries of man made Nations, Caste and Creed.
It recognized only its Gods, in shrines , shops, studios and the select study of spirituality in various religions n art forms.
In India statue casting is as old as the civilization of the Sages....at Buddha Bazaar discover the many moulds of this human creation......
