there and what kind of culture and tradition used to go there?

In so many paintings we can see different type of societies,cultures & customs.

In brief,Paintings are mirror of society,culture and custom.

many weakness,like: It can not affact a lot of people togetherly. Paintings can not show whole story of the

society,culture and customs.on the contrary it can create only image in your mind,which may be sometimes very confussing and doubtful.
