Description
Summary:Religious traditions have consistently demonstrated their intrinsic connection to material culture in expressing themselves. Hinduism has a very rich history of this connection. From its ancient history to the present day it continues to express itself in concrete material phenomena such as ornate temples, music, dance and various visual art forms.

It is these material phenomena that have drawn both casual onlookers as well as intense devotees to these phenomena.
