Indian Culture

India, a country with natural and cultural richness has a timeless heritage. Though moving with the world today, India still holds that mystic charm and that charm breathes in every art and craft coming from the hands of remote artists of her tribes and villages.
The rich and beautiful Indian culture started its journey long back with the journey of humanity on this land. It reflects their art of living, basic attitude towards life, talents and creativity. People from every walk of life, from the enormous estates to the remote and petit villages, everyone has continuously contributed to the heritage and richness of Indian culture.

Why Do Idol Worship, Symbolic Worship, Abstract Worship And Spiritual Worship ? 

The beginner has to start with Idol worship. One can easily focus his devotion into the visible deity which in fact is merely a representative of the abstract Power Supreme God. Over a period of time the faithfuls mind becomes a little more educated spiritually. He can visualize the presence of the deity without even looking at it. Even when he is not sitting before the idol he can see it through his mind's eye. A little more training takes him to level where he sees God behind that worshiped deity.

Some more progress enables one to connect with God spiritually. The deity image now gets transformed into merely a window in the mind through which he can see God, feel His force or energy flowing in.

Lord Vishnu Statue

Similarly in the beginning one says the prayers or mantras loudly. After some time it gets reduced to merely a murmur. Then only lips move without making any sound. A little move progression leads to a stage where one repeats mantras or chants only mentally. A stage comes where words are not needed. The mind simply locks in to the deity. The final union with creator becomes just a matter of time.

Up to which level one reaches depends on one's quality of devotion and the spiritual capacity. Shastras define these various levels as Murti pooja. Parthiv pooja, Manas pooja and Satviki Murti Pooja. Parthiv pooja is the worship of symbolics. Here the deity is in symbolic form as Lingam is symbolics of Lord Shiva. 'Shriyantra' is symbol of goddess Laxmi. In this kind of worship the mind's relating power is prominent.

Folk art Painting 

Wall paintings and floor painting, apart from serving ritualistic purposes, are believed to create a harmonious atmosphere in the house. A broad border painted around the house along its base lends a grandeur to the dwelling. The front wall of the house separates the withing from without, the familiar from the foreign, the known from the unknown and must therefore be safeguarded. Any such decoration on the outer walls of the house is meant either to seek the protection of the Goddess or to ward off evil. The entrance of a house is also an important site for relief work in some tribal communities, such as the Agarias and Gonds. Simple decorations of ochre and mud on the platforms for keeping earthen pitchers, and on the four sides of the windows add color and charm to the surroundings.
The decoration of the house, whether painting or relief work, is the responsibility of the women. Bas relief work is usually done on the inner walls of the house, around the central courtyard. It is usually done during the construction of the house when the wall is still wet. The wall rubbed clean so as to obtain a smooth texture. Dowels or pinches of clay are auickly and deftly applied directly on the mud walls to form ridges, lines, curves and dots, i order to produce the desired shapes. The motifs are the same as those found in painting: geometric patterns, foliate forms, lotuses, elephants, horses, other animals and human figures. Similar relief work also appears on grain storage bins. These bins of clay and husk made by women are quite massive. As opposed to the wall paintings, the bas relief work is a permanent fixture and lasts as long as the wall does.
