Description
Many historians believe that the Mughals imported this art from Persia to India. Many art galleries showcase a variety of these miniature paintings. Each creation takes from a couple of days to weeks to design depending on the detailing and size of artwork. The paintings are made with true stone colours. The powder is mixed with water and gum. Some of the best examples of paintings date back to the first half of the 16th century. These are represented by a group of miniatures, largely called the “Kulhadar Group.” This group includes illustrations of the ‘Chaurapanchasika’ – “Fifty Verses of the Thief by Bilhan, the Gita Govinda, and the Bhagavata Purana and Ragamala. The style of these miniatures is marked by the use of brilliant contrasting colours, dynamic and angular drawing, and transparent drapery.

Itinerary
Udaipur
Enjoy a special session with miniature painting artists. Miniature Painting is a style, which evolved and flourished in the royal courts of Rajasthan. Each Rajput kingdom evolved a distinct style, but with certain common features. The paintings depict a number of themes and events, including epics such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, Krishna’s life, beautiful landscapes, and humans. The colours were extracted from certain minerals, plant sources, conch shells, and were even derived by processing precious stones. Gold and silver were also used. The preparation of desired colours was a lengthy process, sometimes running into weeks. The brushes used were of an extremely fine quality.
