Indian Hand painting

Indian hand painting can be termed as the visual articulation of the instincts and sentiments of native Indians. Traditional Indian painting, along with being spontaneous, is also rooted in the social experience and cultural heritage of Indians. The infinite variety of Indian native painting includes Miniatures, Glass painting, Madhubani painting, Warli painting, Phad painting, Batik, Patachitra, and a host of other treasured forms of folk painting.

Indians knew the art of painting since prehistoric times. The earliest paintings in India were found on the walls of Bhimbetka caves in Madhya Pradesh. Painted geometric designs and symbols have also been found on pottery items belonging to the Indus valley civilization.
