Inspiration of Gandhara Sculptures: An Indication of Cognitive Psychology
Ananda Karmakar , Dr. Ravindra Singh
Abstract
Gandhara art flourished between the years 2 BCE and 7 BCE in what is now northern Pakistan and the eastern part of Afghanistan. Gandharan art is a cultural mixture that was created by Buddhism. In order to get a better understanding of cognitive psychology, this research seeks to delve into the depths of creativity, intuition, and aesthetic contemplation. To show how the Hellenistic (a fusion of Roman, Iranian, and indigenous Indian art) approach helped build Gandhara art (Buddhist sculpture) and how intuition was closely tied to cognitive psychology, the study attempts to do so throughout. Art history, aesthetics, and maybe even psychology might benefit from the information in this article, which has the ability to demonstrate and help these fields.
