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. |
