Question:

What is 14 Vidyas & 64 Kalas (artforms) ?

Namaskar,
India is renowned for its rich Cultural Heritage. Various Artforms like Music, Dance, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture & other Allied Arts have thrived in this country for Centuries now & needless to say, have reached high amounts of Sophistication.

The role of Art as an integral part of life was recognised by Indians very early. The ancient scholers have devided, identified & natured as many as 14 LESSON(techniques) FORMS & 64 ART FORMS.(14 VIDYA aani 64 KALA)

Does anywone know more about this?

Dhanywaad!
