This essay studies Scythian Elements in early Indian Art—a topic that has not garnered extensive scholarly attention. Although much research has focused on various aspects of Saka/Scythian culture, such as politics and numismatics, their contribution to Indian art remains underexplored. This essay delves into archaeological evidence, historical texts, and art forms from Eurasian steppes to decipher the Scythian impact.

Last but not the least, I wish to thank my family for their constant
inspiration and active cooperation for a long period of time, but for which
it would hardly have been possible for me to complete the work.
