India is a country with a rich culture and heritage. Right from ancient times there has been a synthesis of indigenous and foreign influences that have shaped the course of the arts of India. Arts refer to paintings, architecture, literature, music, dance, languages
In early India most of the arts were derived Vedic influences. After the birth of Jainism and Buddhism, arts flourished under the patronage of kings and emperors. The coming of Islam spawned a whole new era of Islamic architecture. Finally the British brought on their own Gothic influences and fused it with the Indian style.
