Synthesis of the visual and musical worlds of the arts have a longstanding history. Goethe, Walter Pater and Wassily Kandinsky, famous Western scholars believe that the union of music with art exists. Similar synthesis exists in the Indian subcontinent as well in the form of miniature paintings for nearly 400 years. Similar kind of synthesis can also be seen in jugal Bandis, which are organized from time to time by organizations which know that such a bonding exists.
