The tradition of woodcarving in the Subcontinent has traversed a long history with a magnificent stylistic diversity. We observe two major transitions in content, style and emphasis in woodcarving. The initial period was characterized by a religious backdrop, the middle period produced a synthesis of Muslim and Hindu tradition and then the last period witnessed a foreign intervention that could not assimilate to local aesthetics. This paper highlights this trajectory of rise and fall in the tradition of woodcarving in the Subcontinent. The study focuses on the factor that were responsible for the major transitions and the rise and fall pattern. The research establishes that the rise of the tradition was a product of indigenous sensibility while the fall was a consequence when the indigenous sensibility was systematically devalued by the British.
