Having started operations in 1998, Exotic India art is known for the consistently high quality of its offerings, each of which is hand-picked by its team of experienced editors. Some of the qualities which we look for in our artworks include high aesthetic value and quality of the material.
India had a fine tradition in the art of painting, and most of the paintings of the early medieval period were based on religious themes and showed episodes from the Hindu epics or Jain and Buddhist literature.
Sculptural images of the Shunga period (c. 184—72 BC) are characterised by low relief, bicornate turbans on male figures, the symbolic representation of the Buddha and narratives of his life. The stupas of Bharhut, Sanchi and Bodh Gaya are the great monuments of the age. The yaksha/yakshi (demon/demoness) statues of the Maurya and Shunga periods represent the influence of folk cult and the excellence of the Indian sculptural tradition.
we take great pride in the textiles section. From sarees and suits to home decor and accessories, each of our merchandise constitutes a wearable work of art. We source them from the most authentic of family-run handlooms in a bid to bring to the fore India's endemic weaves, stitches, and embroideries.
Not only do we love the rich, living spiritual and cultural traditions of India, the aim has also been to share a fair amount of our profits with the numerous highly skilled artists scattered all over the subcontinent.
Over the years, Exotic India has been satisfying friends worldwide with an enormous hand-picked product range which include Gold and Sterling Silver Jewelry, Paintings from India and Nepal, Sculptures, Beads and carefully selected Herbal Health & Beauty Products. We have built not only one of the greatest library of Indian Books and CDs, but also made available the finest of Indian Textiles sourced from all over the country, gaining in the process the confidence of our valuable patrons, and more importantly, their affection as well.
