After the decline of the Mauryan Empire, Indian art and architecture saw significant developments and shifts in styles. From the second century BCE onwards, various rulers established their control over the vast Mauryan Empire: the Shungas, Kanvas, Kushanas, and Guptas in the north and parts of central India; the Satavahanas, Ikshavakus, Abhiras, Vatakas in southern and western India. The period also marked the rise of the main Brahmanical sects such as the Vaishnavas and Shaivas. The post-Mauryan trends saw some of the finest sculptures of this period which are found at Vidisha, Barhut (M.P), Bodhgaya (Bihar), Jaggaypetta (Andhra Pradesh), Mathura (UP), Khandagiri-Udayagiri (Odisha), Bhaja near Pune (Maharashtra). The post-Mauryan period marked the emergence of various regional schools of art and the fusion of indigenous styles with external influences. Mathura, Sarnath, Amaravati and Gandhara Schools Gandhara Art: The post-Mauryan period saw the rise of Gandhara art, which was heavily influenced by Greco-Roman art due to the interactions with Hellenistic culture through trade and conquest. Gandhara art is characterized by its realistic and naturalistic depictions of Buddha and other deities, often with Greek-inspired drapery and features. Mathura Art: The city of Mathura became a significant center for art during this period. Mathura’s art focused on the portrayal of Indian deities, especially images of the Buddha, in a more indigenous style. The sculptures often had soft and graceful features, emphasizing spirituality and emotional depth. Amravati Art: The Amravati stupa in present-day Andhra Pradesh is associated with the Satavahana period and is known for its intricate relief sculptures. These sculptures depicted scenes from the life of the Buddha and Jataka tales. The art of Amravati is characterized by its intricate detailing and storytelling quality. #upsc #artandculture #upscmotivation #upscexam #upsccse #upscinterview #ias #iasmotivation #iasinterview #indianhistory #ancienthistory #ancientindia #ssc #cds #lucentgk #gk #gkfacts #gkindia #generalknowledge #ips #ipsmotivation #sscchsl #upscmains #upsepreparation
