Visual arts found a very fertile ground in the architectural expressions in India of by-gone days. These expressions were motivated by certain faiths and beliefs which were experienced and practised by people living in those times. Religion provided the main force for the practice of such faith and beliefs. Hinduism, Bhudhism, Jainism and myths and legends prevalent by virtue of the religious ideas found a very adequate expression in architectural forms and the visual arts.
