This write up aims to understand the relationship between the ancient and the modern art in relation to the foundation of the unbound state of mind that has been flowing from primitive time in Nepal. State of mind is generally defined as the mental state or mood of a person at a particular time. But in this context, time is an extended and stretched playground for artists where they have sometimes connected and at times disconnected from their primitive native continuity of individual aesthetics and collective social beliefs. And this connection and disconnection from what appears as the ancient state of mind is rather the elementary characteristics of our society that has merged with western propagated modernity in terms of arts as well as science; we have local modern art façade which got fuelled around the mid 19th century in Nepal and combusted in the mid 20th century here. When one enters into this creative façade, one can still feel the unbound state of mind that emanates mystic, relaxed and harmonious qualities in some of the artworks by local artists. When these qualities unify with popular styles of expressions in Nepal, we coincide with the Nepaliness in a work of art of recent times.

A very common understand of the word caryā brings to our mind often heard of the vajrayāna religious song known to us as caryāgīti accompanied by caryānŗtya. An apparently outward symbolic representation of the word in song and dance finds a deeper meaning when dwelt in depth. A thorough investigation into caryā opens up vast insight of vajrayāna philosophy and doctrines amalgamated in rituals of vajrayāna religious practice composed of sādhana, maņđala, mantra and mudrā with ultimate aim of emancipation in the present life itself. In essence a yoga practice with intricate procedures leads sentient beings to the world of spiritualism composed of esoteric ritual practices with a touch of aesthetical experience inherent in caryāgīti and caryānŗtya.

My study of ahorātrapadasādhavidhi is the study of caryā repertoire and in this repertoire of caryā of ‘performing ritual’, paňcabuddha is the store house of vajrayāna philosophical system from which emerges the bunch of deities who fill the kaleidoscopic scenario of visualization process in the religious practice of vajrayāna religion. The play of symbolism is swung to the extremes of space and beyond through the projection of akşobhya, vairocana, amitābha, ratnasambhava and amoghasiddhi as five divine forces or paňcabuddha representing paňcaskandha, driving all the sentient beings to their ‘nonexistent existence’. On the basis of the reliance on the ‘visualization’ of paňcabuddha, a path to nirvāna is eased through the ‘realization’ of śunyatā and ultimate liberation of humanity a mass.

A frequent debate or an issue favorite amongst the art-history buffs is usually found around when and who first used oil paints as a medium of painting and introduced photography in Nepal. On many occasions, the credits were attributed to a legendary name – Bhaju Man Chitrakar or Bhaju-macha. But it appears now many of those narratives were made more based on the popular hearsays rather than actual study of his oeuvre of works or a credible analysis of the circumstances then. The essay here seeks to analyze the roles of the prominent artists then – spanning late 80s of the 19th century to the late 30s of the 20th century. It is found the role played by a least celebrated artist Purna Man Chitrakar, seemed more credible – in ushering a new era, described as ‘Pre-modern’, with the irrefutable accounts of his workings in oil colors and photography. Moreover, his mentorship of many of the junior artists later proved momentous – leading to create different new streams in the evolution of Nepali Art – later.
艺术史爱好者之间经常争论的话题通常是关于何时以及谁首次在尼泊尔使用油画作为绘画媒介并引入摄影。在许多场合,功劳都归功于一个传奇的名字——Bhaju Man Chitrakar或Bhaju-macha。但现在看来,这些叙述更多地是基于流行的传闻,而不是对他全部作品的实际研究或对当时情况的可靠分析。本文试图分析当时从19世纪80年代末到20世纪30年代末的杰出艺术家的角色。人们发现,一位不太知名的艺术家普尔纳·曼·奇拉卡尔(Purna Man Chitrakar)所扮演的角色似乎更可信——他以油画和摄影作品无可辩驳地引领了一个被称为“前现代”的新时代。此外,他对许多年轻艺术家的指导后来被证明是重要的——在后来尼泊尔艺术的发展中创造了不同的新流。

The discovery of Mauryan Emperor Ashokan pillar in Lumbini by General Khadaga Shumsher Rana and Dr. Alois Fuhrer in 1896 A.D. opened the door of archaeological study in Nepal. Since then the archaeological excavations have been carried regularly. This article focuses around Lumbini the Birth Place of Buddha and highlights the contributions of Bhrikuti in spreading Buddhism in Tibet.

The perception of ‘Art’ has had changed phenomenally since the earliest appearance of art like Painting or Sculpture on the surface of earth. The numerous shifts to new forms and manifestations since then are attributed to the basic human instincts - like desire for continual change and explore for new. But all the changes are always being determined by the motives of the involved artists. Like elsewhere, Nepali Art too has had witnessed multiple forms and phases as time moved on. In the recent times, Art here too, is defined as experimental – an end result of creative experiments. And an argument that today is an age of unlimited freedom - to imagine and to create. But lately, it is found there have been frequent instances of abusing this creative freedom. To correct such tendencies in time, the concerned authorities have designed the related curriculum of Higher Education in Fine Arts – so that the exercise to experiment in ‘Art’ is made only after a designated stage of academic learning – not earlier. Obviously, the point is to lay the due emphasis on learning of academic forms first before exercising creative freedom – called ‘Experimental Art’.
