Indian art has a long history spanning various empires and periods. Some key highlights include: - Ancient Indian art included Buddhist rock-cut architecture and sculptures from the Satavahana era around the 2nd century BC. - Art flourished under later empires like the Guptas in the 5th century CE, producing sculptures such as the meditating Buddha. - Regional kingdoms like the Pallavas in the 7th-8th century created structural temples at Mamallapuram. - Under the Delhi Sultanate and Mughals from the 15th-17th century, miniature paintings depicted court scenes and events in manuscripts. - Regional styles also emerged in South India
