Rajasthani miniature painting, Udaipur, by Shantilal Sharma

Discover the art of Miniature with our workshop led by an eminent artist, Shantilal Sharma, in Udaipur.

Miniature paintings originated in India around 750 A.D when the Palas ruled over the eastern part of India. Since religious teachings of the Buddha, accompanied by his images, were written on palm leaves, these paintings became popular.

The amalgamation of Indian paintings and Persian miniature paintings gave rise to the Mughal School of miniature painting. The decline of the Mughal miniature paintings resulted in the rise of the Rajasthani School.

Rajasthani School of painting can be further divided into various schools depending on the region they were created in. The Mewar School, Marwar School, Hadoti School, Dhundar School, Kangra and Kullu Schools of art are all part of Rajasthani School of painting.
