The inner feelings of the artist are expressed via their work. Additionally, the original characteristics of Indian art were greatly influenced by royal patronage and artists' religious sentiments. Very few and questionable examples of religious deities from the Harappan era have been discovered. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that any of the Vedic deities were metaphorically depicted throughout the Vedic era. But the progressive evolution of the Buddha's image can only be seen in Buddhist art. Buddha is prominently depicted on the toranas and vedikas of Sanchi and Bharhut as symbols to the well-established and widely-accepted image as an icon in Mathura, Gandhara and Andhra sculptures from ancient India. This article shares some important observations on the genesis and development of the Buddha’s image.
