The Post-Mauryan period (c. 200 BCE – 300 CE) was marked by decentralized political power but witnessed an explosion of indigenous artistic traditions across the subcontinent. Art became democratized, moving from the monolithic, state-sponsored imperial style of the Mauryas to elaborate narrative, architectural sculpture, and the emergence of distinct, powerful regional schools like Sunga, Satavahana, and the Indo-Greek fusion in Gandhara.
