Sculpture in Indian arts leads that side of the culture. With which both the feelings of entertainment and spirituality are connected. The presence of sculptures in river valley civilizations also proves that this art was adopted as a discipline for rituals and entertainment. We have been trying to find evidence related to sculpture only in the early scriptures, while the ancient evidence found in the excavations has proved the origin of this art far back. The aspect of installation and use of idols for worship comes to the fore from the very post-Buddhist period, but respect for them had appeared much earlier. The evidence of Mother Goddess and Lingo worship is the bright side of civilizations like Indus Valley. In the material available to us regarding the making of idols, the date wise evidence is obtained from Varahamihira's Brihatsamhita.Sculpture in Indian arts leads that side of the culture.
