Hindu art
Shiva in bronze
Hindu art encompasses visual and decorative works created in service of Hindu religious practice and mythology—temple sculptures, bronze deities, devotional paintings, and architectural carvings depicting gods like Vishnu, Shiva, and Lakshmi.
The style emphasizes symbolic gesture, elaborate ornamentation, and narrative scenes from sacred texts like the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
