Spirituality is the core of Indian art.
Evolved out of spiritual passions,art in India has gone hand in hand with religion since time immemorial. While religion is a matter of faith, spirituality is a divine experience of communion with the divine. All the Indian art-forms have attuned to this ideal. The devotee is still enjoined to dance and sing and move into spiritual ecstacy. From a very early time the dance found its spiritual home in the holy caves, temples and religious institutions as an essential religious practice.
