Artist of prehistoric eras like at the age of Aurignacion culture, around 30000 years ago shown a transmission of their work culture (Isidore,1979). Till date artist always likes to enjoy a creative freedom to express his feeling. Artist’s language is universal, same time Art as a universal language transcends words. It has no language barriers. Sanchi, Bharhut and Amravati stupa, and few worthy caves paintings like Bagh and Ajanta, those are ancient monuments are projecting ancient Indian culture that is a storytelling art, audio-visual performance. The Patuas try to showcase the themes according to their concept, skills, colour scheme from myths, epics, Mangal Kavya, Bhagavat Puranas. Man is also observed in his own integral circumstances; his success and failures are seen in terms either of his admirable courage or his moral shortcomings.
