2. Culture Meaning

The word ‘culture’ broadly means that it is the general belief and the behaviour of the people and the finest piece of the creation of them. This generally means that it is the assimilation or the accumulation of the thoughts and the functions of the people that unites them from the other groups and makes them distinct from others by every means. This may be the ceremonial artifacts, ornament and clothing of the groups. In that sense, the concerned word has a very wide meaning. At the same time, the word has two distinct divisions and these are Material and Nonmaterial culture. The material means the use of all tangible things in the society. Whereas, the nonmaterial means all the intangible things that have been originated by the Indian society.

3. Indian art and Culture

The art and culture of India is very rich as has been mentioned previously. Not because of its grandeur but because of its numbers and volumes and the expansion of it almost across all ages of the human civilization of India. India has the highest collection of the intangible heritage of art across all forms i.e. Songs, music, dance, and many other forms of it. Along with that the greatest forms of paintings have been found in the Ajanta & Ellora caves of India. Along with that the viscera and the nagara form of the temple sculpture has been found here. Besides, the country has the various forms of dance like Bharat natyam, kuchipudi, Odissi, Chau, etc. that bears the liveliness of the century old culture of the magnificent country. Besides, the various musical ragas like bhairabi, kafi and various others. All these are the significant examples of the dedicative version of the art and the culture of India. The recent inclusion of the Durga Puja of Bengal as the UNESCO World Heritage is one of the major examples of the significance of Indian culture across the world.

Besides, it can also be said that the experience of the organization is also regarded as the major part of the organization effectively. Moreover, it decides the mission vision of the organization and along with that it is very effective in motivating the employees of the organization by the long standing inheritance of the system of the ethics of the organization.
