Pahari painting

Pahari painting

Pahari painting (literal meaning a painting from the mountainous regions, "pahar" means a mountain in Hindi) is a form of Indian painting, done mostly in miniature forms [ [http://www.kamat.com/kalranga/art/pahari.htm Pahari] ] .

Origin and area

Pahari school developed and flourished during 17th-19th centuries stretching from Jammu to Almora, in the sub-Himalayan India, through Himachal Pradesh, and each creating stark variations within th egenra, ranging from bold intense Basohli Painting to the delicate and lyrical Kangra paintings.

It gave birth to a new idiom in Indian painting, and grew out of the Mughal painting, though this was patronized mostly by the Rajput kings who ruled many parts of the region [ [http://www.culturopedia.com/Painting/pahari.html Pahari] ] .
