Indian Architechture

Ancient Indian Architecture





Art by its nature is a visual commentry or a concrete manifestation of thought, which is abstract and invivsible. 

 The field of art is wide consisting mainly three forms- architecture, sculpture and painting.
The term architecture applies only to buildings. Architecture is distinguised from sculpture and painting by its spatial quality, though it is not exclusively spatial. A good architect needs the help of sculpture as well as a painter.Indian architecture is all about  SPIRITUALITY.

Indus Valley Architecture -        

 The journey of Indian architecture begins with Indus Valley civilization from 7000 BCE . The remaining of Harappa and Mohenjodaro cities reveal a remarkable sense of town planning. The buildings made of both burnt and un-burnt bricks, often of two or more stores, were arranged on grid pattern, was strictly utilitarian, without decorative motifs or plasters, and seem to have been built with skill and a sound knowledge of building principles.
This pattern is used still in present day in India. 

 Pillars, cor belled arches, stair cases, etc were used. The most outstanding examples, of architecture of this phase are the Great bath at mohenjodaro and the citadels and the the granaries of the two cities.

The water supply system which was used in Indus civilization, is still used in present day India. The same  water supply system of ancient Indians was used in Mughal buildings like Humayun's tomb, Tajmahal, Agra fort and Fatehpur sikri.

If the dreams would not have any base then many great personalities would not have been between us. Dr. A.P.J Kalam India ’s president Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam did not born in rich family. He fulfilled his dreams with hard work, consistency and struggle and won the seat of Indian presidency.
