Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts works as an autonomous centre encompassing the study and experience of all the art forms each with its own integrity, yet within a dimension of mutual inter-dependence, inter-relatedness with nature, the social structure and cosmology.

The centre is involved in interdisciplinary researches related to rock art of the country under its Adi Drishya (Primeval Vision) Programme.

The present project has been conceived with a difference giving special attention to a new kind of interdisciplinary research involving allied disciplines like Anthropology, Geology, Art History etc., which can open new horizons to the study of rock art. Briefly, the goal to be set is not merely the development of a database and a multimedia gallery but also to establish Adi Drishya into a school of thought and research on alternate means of understanding prehistoric art.
