The Vedas, the sacred book of the Aryans in Sanskrit is the fundamental link to the Indian thoughts and arts. After the Indus valley civilization there was no continuity in the arts section until the age of the Mauryans when the Buddhist art form was born. Historically the first movement in art in India started with the Mauryan dynasty during 322-183 B.C. Then followed the Sunga and the Kushan periods when artistic activities were widespread and the important art centers were the Gandhara region and the Mathura region and the lower Godavari Basin in Andhra Pradesh.
