The Hindu art is represented in the Style of Gurjara- Pratihars of the northern plains of Hindustan because of its proximity to the plains. It was later destined to transform into Rajput art  and architecture because of the Rajput princely  families migrating from Rajasthan and  seeking shelter  in the hill under the stress of Muslim invasions. A sculpture of Gurjara Prathiaras which occupies a place of pride is that of the two armed goddess Lakshmi standing gracefully with the right foot placed on the brahmsthana and the left foot extended sideways in tryka. The posture par excellence of the Hindu gods and goddesses the goddess wears a scarf, a broad knee reaching vanamala, keyura and the bracelets.

Kangra is the only region in Himachal Pradesh which has yielded both Buddhists and Jain remains. While the images of Buddha have come to light from the outskirts where at one time were the Buddhists chiatyas, viharas and stupas, the Jain monuments are to be found in the thickly populated areas and in the middle of old bazaars of Kangra as they were commissioned by the rich merchants.
