India history and geography
Source: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Painting: A Survey (h)Kalamkari or “pen craft” of Srikalahasti, is executed with a kalam or pen, used for free hand drawing of the subject and filling in the colours, entirely by hand. Paintings are usually hand-painted or block-printed on cotton textile. This style grew around temples and had a distinctly religious identity — scrolls, temple hangings, deities and scenes from the great Hindu epics.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
