The Himalayan region has over the centuries played a key role in the development, propagation and nurturing of Mahayana Buddhist thought, philosophy and art. Wall paintings play a vital role not only in enlivening the environment but also in articulating and disseminating key complex ideas. The extent of wall paintings in the region both in terms of geography and time period is immense; the earliest paintings in the region date from the 10th century in Ladakh (in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir) and the paintings are spread across India, Nepal, Bhutan, China.
The artistic and cultural manifest of the region today faces immense challenges threatening its very survival. The traditional, identified and much studied factors of deterioration like water and light seem dwarfed by the developmental agenda of present societies, in terms of the damage that is inflicted on artistic and cultural products.
The lecture draws from experience of conservation projects across the region to present a cohesive perspective on the issues and challenges encountered in ensuring the survival of wall paintings, an important artistic, historical and religious legacy.
Sanjay Dhar, Akzo Nobel Scholar at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London obtained post graduate degrees in Conservation of Paintings and History of Art from the National Museum Institute (New Delhi), then further trained at the Universit Internazionale dell'Arte, Florence (Italy). In 1990, he joined the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) in New Delhi and was involved in establishing one of the premiere conservation laboratories in the country, in research and in training conservation professionals. In 2000, he started the first private consultancy in India for the preservation of wall paintings, working with Non Governmental Institutions and international organisations like the World Monument Fund and UNESCO. He has been appointed advisor in heritage management to several State Governments and private and public museums across the country. He has received the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation three times for his projects.
