Passage One :
Indus Valley Civilization was named after the site from where the first evidence of the
Civilization was found. Main sites of this Civilization are Mohenjo-daro and Harappa (now
in Pakistan). This Civilization is also known as Harappan Civilization and is believed to
have flourished between 2500 B.C. and 1750 B.C. The next important period in Indian
history was the time of the Mauryan Dynasty, which was founded by Chandra Gupta
Maurya. Chandragupta Maurya’s grandson Ashoka the great did lots of benevolent works
and contributed much to the development of art architecture. He was a follower of Buddism
and erected pillars all over the empire to spread the teachings of ‘Lord Buddha’. The Caves
of Ajanta are situated near Aurangabad district in Maharashtra. The caves are named after
the nearly village Ajintha. Ajanta paintings were done in two phases - first, the Hinayana
phase (where Lord Buddha is represented in symbols) and the second, the Mahayana phase
(where he is shown in human form). Ajanta paintings are not done in Fresco. But Ajanta
artists have used traditional technique of tempra. The themes of Ajanta paintings were
primarily religious in nature.

Passage Two :

Modern Indian Art is very much related to history of the country and social conditions
in which the artists developed their styles. We see the growth of different schools after the
decline of British Raj. The British Period produced significant works under the Company
School. The Indian artists followed the European techniques in their paintings. Artist like
Raja Ravi Varma served as a bridge to revive Indian subjects but followed western style.
Later the Bengal School established in Shantiniketan served as a center of artistic development.
Abanindranath Tagore and his disciples contributed on a large scale. Bengal School provided
a starting point to the movement to the Contemporary Indian Art. The best and most
individualistic painter was probably Amrita Shergil. She did not follow any Indian school.
