Indian art and crafts has succeeded in making its own unique identity all around the world and occupies its own prominence. The Indian crafts are not old but too old. The Indian crafts’ history goes back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Paintings, sculptures, jewelry, textiles, stone and woodcrafts are amongst the major art and craft works in India. The profusion of color is what amazes the visitors. The idols of the various gods and goddesses, clothes, trucks and all those small products in the numerous shops at Delhi’s Janpath display a mutiny of colors. All the wonderful handicrafts are the work of many unrecognized artisans who have the power to wield magic with heir hands. For instance, the beautiful Gujarati Cholis, the perfectly carved furniture and the brilliantly studded silver jewellery are some of the skillful works of those thousands of unsung craftsmen.</div>

Sanchi is famous in the world for stupas, monolithic Asokan pillar, temples, monasteries and sculptural wealth. During Sunga times, several edifices were raised at Sanchi and its surrounding hills. The Asokan stupa was enlarged and faced with stones and decorated with blustrades, staircases and a harmika on the top. The reconstruction of Temple 40 and erection of Stupas 2 and 3 also seem to date back around the same time. In the first century BC the Andhra-Satavahanas, who had extended their sway over the eastern Malwa, caused the elaborately carved gateways to Stupa 1. From the second to fourth century AD Sanchi and Vidisha came under the Kushanas and Kshatrapas and subsequently passed on to the hand of the Guptas. During the Gupta period some temples were built and sculptures were added. Shrines and monasteries were also constructed at the site during seventh and twelfth centuries AD.</div>
