DIRECTORY OF WALL PAINTINGS

The 'Directory of Wall Painting' (WPD) is a project initiated under the Art and Material Heritage Division of INTACH since November 2015 to undertake survey and documentation of wall painting and rock art sites in India. Since its inception, the project has covered ten states, namely Delhi, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana, Orissa, and Bihar.
The survey methodology includes discovering a site, analyzing the wall paintings, collecting basic information related to structure and paintings, observing their present condition and later inventorizing them. Both known and unknown structures that are more than 100 years old are considered for survey which is being done in collaboration with INTACH chapters and INTACH Conservation Institute (ICI) centres around the country.
Till date, three publications, i.e., 'Wall Painting Sites in Delhi, Rajasthan (Jaipur Edition) and Uttarakhand’ have been released and ‘Wall Painting Sites in Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh (Awadh region)’ are under process. Additionally, the WPD team has also released 'Directory of Museums in India (Fifth edition)’ - a compendium including information about 1186 museums existing across the country.
It is the need of the time that people come together for this cause of heritage preservation and hence, we urge everyone to join our movement of identifying and documenting wall paintings.
