The [[rural]] background has left an indelible impression in his formative years. In [[India]], [[art]], [[culture]], [[religion]] and [[rituals]] are interwoven in daily life. There is a fine line that separates Indian [[aesthetics]] and [[Hindu]] rituals. In traditional [[Visual arts|visual]] and [[performing arts]], symbolism renders the classical arts more appealing for the initiated and the erudite while the [[folk art]]s are integrated by all in festivities. Ilango traces the bovine form and symbol as an idiom that is closely related to man from [[prehistory]] to the [[modern era]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2005/04/25/stories/2005042501550300.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101104233/http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2005/04/25/stories/2005042501550300.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 January 2009|title=Story in sculpture|date=25 April 2005 | first=Swapna | last=Sathish |newspaper=[[The Hindu]]| access-date=21 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/07/15/stories/13150072.htm|title=Preoccupation with the formal|newspaper=The Hindu|date=15 July 2001|access-date=22 February 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060621040704/http://www.hinduonnet.com/2001/07/15/stories/13150072.htm|archive-date=21 June 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
