Governor R.N. Ravi on Monday inaugurated the 29th session of the annual Indian Art History Congress (IAHC) on “Indian Iconography with Special Emphasis on Regional Developments” jointly organised by the Indian Art History Congress, Guwahati, and the C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Institute of Indological Research (CPRIIR) at the C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Foundation, Alwarpet.
The Governor emphasised that India’s resurgence needed resurgence in culture and spirituality as well. He urged the art historians to interpret India’s glorious past in ways that helped India’s resurgence.
He emphasised that India’s culture had been rooted in spirituality and it was necessary to interpret cultural heritage not merely in terms of its architectural and sculptural beauty but also its spirituality which runs across the century and manifests with regional variations.
