Art forms which develop and emerge usually reflect the culture of the society at that point of time. Such form is not necessarily "high art" created for a privileged group or for a specific purpose.
Instead, the forms represent the day-to-day life, the experiences so gained and the many moods thus created. In course of time works of art created for exclusive purposes came to be produced.
In the Mauryan period there were remarkable pieces of works of art by the state. With the formation of social groups who could extend patronage to the creator of art forms new trends in art activities came about.
In the post- Mauryan period such patronage by various social groups was the reason behind the phenomenal development and growth of various art forms of the times when art activities spread all over India and beyond.
From the Mauryan period onward a shift is also perceptible towards the use of non-perishable material such as stone as the medium for creative expression.
It was also the time for interaction with those art forms which flourished beyond the frontiers of the country when various schools of art were formed. The schools of Gandhara and Mathura emerged as also the features characterising Saranath and Amaravati.
The general characteristics of art and architecture during 200 bc-ad 300 can be stated as below:
1. Art forms in this period are representations of the symbols, centres and units of the religions practiced by the people.
2. The Buddha images which are sculpted during the period are a departure from the earlier forms which were symbolic, such as a pair of footprints, the Bodhi tree, etc. Image worship became a common practice among all religions from this time on.
3. More stupas, chaityas and viharas were constructed than earlier times.
4. Symbols used in art forms were not exclusive to one particular religion. Yakshas, Yakshinis, Nagas and Naginis from the Brahmanical pantheon decorate the stupas of Bharhut and Sanchi along with scenes from the Buddha's life.
5. Likewise, natural scenes along with religious symbols decorate the stupas. In fact, some of the scenes can be regarded as secular.
6. Elements of non-Indian art forms are used.
