Description

Painting in India is an ancient art, as evidenced by the walls of Ajanta and illuminated Buddhist and Jain manuscripts. However, miniature painting in India found its real efflorescence in the Mughal and post Mughal periods.

Through a series of exquisite images, this book recounts the splendor of that tradition of Mughal, Rajasthani, Pahari and Deccani miniatures.
