The Arts |
The art, music, sculpture and architecture of South Asia attest to the age and resilience of the culture.
Much of South Asian art is religious in its themes and developments, and its appreciation requires at least some background knowledge of the region's many faiths.
Classical dance and music, religious architecture, painting, and sculpture, inspire people around the world with their beauty and creativity.
