Culture and Fashion - Art, Theatre, Decor, Music, and Travel - BAZAAR. Indian Art - History of India. The major themes of Indian art seem to begin emerging as early as the Harappan period, about 2500 BC.
Although we're still not sure, some Harappan images look like later images of Vishnu and Shiva, and the tradition may start this early. With the arrival of the Indo-Europeans (or Aryans) around 1500 BC, came new artistic ideas. Around 500 BC, the conversion to Buddhism of a large part of the population of India brought with it some new artistic themes. But at first nobody made images of the Buddha - only stupas (STOO-pahs), symbolic representations that didn't look like a person. Then the conquests of Alexander the Great, in the 320s BC, also had an important impact on Indian art. During the Guptan period, about 500 AD, the rise of the Silk Road and increasing trade with East Africa brought a lot of wealth to India.

History of Day of the Dead & the Mexican Sugar Skull Tradition. Day of the Dead is an interesting holiday celebrated in central and southern Mexico during the chilly days of November 1 & 2.
Even though this coincides with the Catholic holiday called All Soul's & All Saint’s Day, the indigenous people have combined this with their own ancient beliefs of honoring their deceased loved ones. They believe that the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31, and the spirits of all deceased children (angelitos) are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. On November 2, the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared for them.
In most Indian villages, beautiful altars (ofrendas) are made in each home. The value of arts and culture to people and society – an evidence review.
