Discover Indian Folk Art - Support Indian Artist

India is the most populous country in the world, with over 1.4 billion people living in it. It is home to some of the most ancient civilizations, and has a long history of cultural richness to boast about.

India has a long and diverse history. The country has been through many eras and has influenced other countries in numerous ways. From Vedic philosophy, to the teachings of Buddha, India has always been at the forefront of culture-changing ideas

Cultures and creativity both affect economic, social, and all other aspects of activity. The country of India is one of the world’s most culturally diverse countries, as it has been home to a multitude of cultures for millennia.

This diversity in Indian Art and Culture is symbolized by the plurality of its culture. India has one of the world’s largest collections of songs, music, dance, theatre, folk traditions, performing arts and rites and rituals.

The Indian folk arts are an important part of the nation’s culture and identity because they are directly connected with spiritual nature of people’s lives.

Indian folk art is a country’s heritage and can be representative of the culture and history of that country. It is the most original work of art because it is born out of the soul of the people.

The Indian government has taken many initiatives to keep this rich cultural traditional art alive. They are making it easier for future generations to access this heritage which will help diversify the country’s culture even more.

However, government alone cannot stop the extinction of these traditional artforms without support from every Indian, living in India or abroad.

We are doing our part!
