Ancient Indian artists used the tempera technique, binding inorganic mineral pigments — like volcanic red ochre, terra verte, and imported lapis lazuli — with natural glue on mud plaster. Unlike organic dyes, these mineral colors naturally resist fading and decay. This masterful ancient chemistry, rooted in real material science and rock-cut architecture, allowed these UNESCO masterpieces to retain their vibrant hues despite centuries of harsh monsoon weather.
