About South Asian Traditions (India, Nepal & Beyond)
South Asia’s artistic legacy flows from sacred texts and temple walls to village floors and cotton scrolls, uniting deep spirituality with vivid everyday expression. Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh traditions have shaped a vast visual spectrum from the meditative symmetry of yantras and cosmological diagrams to the storytelling of Madhubani, Kalamkari, and Warli folk art. Calligraphy, devotional symbols, ritual masks, and musical paintings echo teachings of oneness, nonviolence, and cosmic balance. This inclusive heritage, rooted in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and beyond, is a living celebration of craft, culture, and spiritual imagination, resonating far beyond its regional origins.
