Abstract:
Jātaka Stories have been played a significant role
for a long period of time in the field of Buddhist
art of India. When these narratives came to the
hands of Indian artists, then one of the excellent
art traditions prevailed in various forms in the field
of Indian art. Oral tradition of the Jātaka narratives
converted into new art tradition i.e. carvings and
paintings in which Monoscenic, Synoptic,
Conflated, Sequential, Continuous and Network
narratives can be seen. This article deals with the
fact that how Indian artists have converted the
tradition of narrative telling and listening into a
tradition of carvings and paintings, a form of
reading and viewing, after which religious
communication has reached a new era.
