Artistic expressions have their muses hiding in the nondescript corners of common life - domestic rituals, religious rites, social ceremonies and even in the most insignificant repertoires of common people. Truly knowing and appreciating Art, therefore, involves an enlightened enquiry into the lives and culture of the people creating the work of art.
