Introductory survey of India's art traditions from the Indus
Valley civilization to the coming of Islam. The primary
emphasis is on architecture and sculpture, although mural
painting and minor art forms such as coins and terracottas
are also covered. An attempt is made to place the art in
its cultural context through consideration of the
traditional conception of "art", the artist and his social
milieu and the relationship between art and religion.
