MUSIC AND SCULPTURE |

Sculpture and music have played a very prominent part in the development of the cultural heritage of India. Sculptural illustrations may be treated as visual documents of the different periods to which they belong. They portray contemporary life and thereby act as good guides and reliable informants. A survey of the Indian sculpture found mainly in our temples, bring to our notice many factors relating to music.

The items of sculpture
are reference records and enlighten us on the type of instruments that were in popular use
at that particular period of cultural development. They also indicate the instruments used
in solo performances, orchestra, dance, folk music, temple orchestra, etc. Besides, they
disclose certain facts about the classification of instruments based on the profession and
region. It is an amazing fact that the carvings of certain instruments found in one temple
have been found in another temple, irrespective of the location. |
