The spiritual manifestation of animal motifs in all the
major works that is observed, showcased the inevitability for two most
important animals - Elephant and Lion, whose appearance is unescapable in order
to understand the narrative contents in the development of Indian Art. The
relation between human and animals and its association in our daily activity is
unavoidable. From its representation as a visual element in calendar art to the
logo design for a brand, animals are the most viewed object in literary and art
works. They play a very important role in understating the ecological
efficacies to create an organised equilibrium in the nature. In Indian
mythology, the practice of using animals as visual representations has a long
history. Characters like Hanuman, the Monkey God, are one example of how this
enhances the sacred scriptures of Hindu beliefs with tales of deeper wisdom and
morals. A sense of reverence for animals is infused into our art and culture
through the projection of animal images, which has been the pinnacle of Indian
art heritage from antiquity to the present. The paper explores the presence of
animals as visual motifs in the chronological development of Indian art in
understanding the role of animals played in the story telling approaches.
