Highlights
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
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.

About Udaipur
Udaipur, the City of Lakes in Rajasthan, is a place of white palaces, island pavilions and hills, mirrored in Lake Pichola.
Maharana Udai Singh II founded Udaipur in the sixteenth century, and the City Palace, a cluster of courts and towers built over centuries, rises on the shore of Lake Pichola. Island palaces, Jag Mandir and the Lake Palace, sit in the water, and boats cross the lake at sunset. Jagdish Temple, a Hindu temple with a carved spire and steep steps, stands close to the palace in the old town.
