Abstract

Indian paintings can be broadly classified as murals and miniatures. Murals are large works executed on the walls of solid structures, as in the Ajanta Caves and the Kailashnath temple. Miniature paintings are executed on a very small scale for books or albums on perishable material such as paper and cloth. The Palas of Bengal were the pioneers of miniature painting in India. The art of miniature painting reached its glory during the Mughal period. The tradition of miniature paintings was carried forward by the painters of different Rajasthani schools of painting like the Bundi, Kishangarh, Jaipur, Marwar and Mewar. Rajasthani paintings: Radhe Krishna paintings are quite prominent in Rajasthani paintings. Rajasthani paintings started around 16th–19th centuries in western India. Ever wondered how the Rajput kings and queens looked like and what cutlery they used during their elaborate dining? Rajasthan paintings are also known as Rajput paintings and they are quite famous for the miniature paintings. The Bani Thani paintings/ragini made of plywood and vegetable colour is quite popular worldwide. The Bani Thani paintings are created with attractive emboss work at the border using fabric pearl colours and water proof solution of Papier Mache for the antique look. Rajasthani paintings tell us a lot of tales from the epics "The Ramayana" and "Mahabharata". Stories of love and affection of Radhe Krishna are shown in a number of paintings. You can also see a simple life of the Rajasthanis portrayed in these beautiful traditional Rajasthani paintings.
