Sunil there are lot of ambiguities in the editor of the site. In the sub categories, there is one Healing arts. Healing arts has nothing to do with arts. What about Architecture? If decorative art is a category. Mehindi and Rangoli also should be added to the list.

So, we can't write on hand embroidery, sequence work, ceramic painting, saree designing, colouring, kundan work etc?

For your clarification rambabu, mehendi and rangoli cannot really be compared to Decorative Art, as per wikipedia, the definition for decorative art is as follows: 'The decorative arts is traditionally a term for the design and manufacture of functional objects. It includes interior design, but not usually architecture. The decorative arts are often categorized in opposition to the "fine arts", namely, painting, drawing, photography, and large-scale sculpture, which generally have no function other than to be seen.'

Please note the highlighted phrase 'design and manufacture of functional objects. Therefore, decorative art includes Ceramic art, pottery, hand carving, jewellery, metalwork, etc. Rangoli and mehendi do not come under this!

I would be happy if you can define 'functional objects.. If functional objects are meant objects of utility, why not Architecture? "Architecture is the art of formulating satisfying answers to the basic questions of security, shelter and living in groups according to Jeremy Kingston. By the by under what category Music and Drama are categorized?

Well, for one thing functional objects in relation to arts and design is 'the ability to create objects that are functional for some purpose or other while at the same time being pleasing in appearance and aesthetics'

Architecture is 1. The art or practice of designing and constructing buildings.
2. The style of a building with regard to a specific period, place, or culture.

This is an entirely different category with a very wide scope of information and it will not be fair to limit it as a subcategory under arts and design, totally different realm in my opinion.

As for music and drama is concerned, I think it is very much clear that they falkl under performing arts!
