Bhakti Movement Art

Bhakti Movement Art refers to the religious and devotional artwork created during the Bhakti movement in India (around the 15th to 17th centuries). It emphasizes personal devotion to gods like Vishnu, Krishna, Rama, and Shiva through vibrant paintings, sculptures, and poetry. The art often depicts heartfelt worship, stories from scripture, and divine love, aiming to inspire spiritual connection and devotion among followers. It reflects a shift towards simpler, more accessible religious expression, using bold colors and expressive forms to communicate devotion beyond formal rituals and priestly authority.
