| An early rock painting in India |
As far back as 9000 BC, rock paintings have known to exist in India. Created using natural pigments, these paintings depicted the life of men as hunter-gatherers. These paintings extended from the Mesolithic (9000 - 3000 BC) to the early medieval historic period. More...
These could be seen as the pre-cursor to the folk & tribal art in India as we know it today which continues the tradition of painting scenes from life as well as the use of natural dyes and pigments.
Mind boggling, isn't it? :)
