  • In Search of the Stylistic Origins of the Decorative Arts and Crafts of Kashmir: Period 1400-1900 INTRODUCTION: R
    "THROUGH THE MISTS OF TIME" In search of the Stylistic origins of the Decorative arts and crafts of Kashmir: Period 1400-1900 INTRODUCTION: R. RAINA India (3-5 August 1992) The growth and development of the arts reflects a cultivation and aesthetic sensitivity: There is a certain quality of timelessness which is amply demonstrated by their persistence over several centuries. Notwithstanding stylistic and cultural diversities the art traditions have displayed a remarkable continuity, the parallels in form and ornamentation demonstrates the durability of design as also the perfect synthesis. It is with this backdrop that we should view the value of the arts, their origins and affinities. Kashmir's decorative art traditions have been largely determined by its strategic geographical situation and magnificent natural environment. Journeying back through the 'MISTS OF TIME', one can almost faintly visualize merchants, artisans, pilgrims and adventurers traversing the treacherous Karakorams, bringing with them expertise, knowledge and skills that have left a deep imprint on Kashmir's culture. The Silk Roads played a significant role in the growth and development of the arts. one of the important feeder roads left the southern route at Yarkand, across the inhospitable Karakorams, to enter the 'Gates of Hindustan', Leh and Srinagar, before continuing the easy ride down to the markets of the Bombay Coast. The more frequented route was Kokand- Kashgar-Yarkand-Leh-Srinagar. This was preferred by the traders as the Kabul route was fraught with danger from marauding tribes. Kashmir was thus a very vital staging and refueling post for the caravans, and soon became an equally important trading centre.
