The Arts
Over the millennia India's many ethnic groups have spawned a rich artistic heritage,
and today you'll experience art both lofty and humble around every corner: from in-
tricately painted trucks on dusty roads to harmonic chanting from an ancient temple
to wedding-season hands adorned with mehndi (henna). The wealth of creative ex-
pression is a highlight of travelling here, and today's artists fuse ancient and modern
influences to create art, dance, literature and music that are as evocative as they are
beautiful.
Indian Classical Dance by Leela Venkataraman and Avinash Pasricha is a lavishly illustrated book covering
various Indian dance forms, including BharataNatyam, Odissi and Kathakali.
