About the Artwork +

In Poonam Katoch's Kangra painting portraying the month of Phalgun, a charming scene unfolds as a lover affectionately places his left arm on the shoulders of a young lady, gazing at her tenderly. The lady, clad in delicate transparent muslin, her hands adorned with red henna, beseeches her lover to remain with her during the month of Phalgun. Nearby, a tree laden with blossoms adds to the romantic ambiance. In the background, a lively crowd of revelers celebrates Holi, the festival of colors. A man with a drum leads the procession, while men joyfully throw gulal, the red powder, at each other. A woman standing on a terrace sprinkles colored water using a syringe, adding to the festive atmosphere.
This Kangra painting beautifully captures the essence of Pahadi culture, with intricate detailing and refined expressions characteristic of the Kangra miniature tradition. While depicting scenes of love and celebration, the artwork also seamlessly integrates elements reminiscent of Mughal miniatures, showcasing the artist's skillful fusion of cultural influences. Employing a palette dominated by cool tone colors, the painting evokes a serene ambiance that complements the romantic narrative and festive fervor of the Holi celebration. With its vivid portrayal of Phalgun, this Kangra painting invites viewers to immerse themselves in the vibrant beauty and cultural richness of the Pahadi region.

Kangra Art


Amid the natural beauty of the Kangra valley, Pahari painting developed into an art of great charm and delicacy under the influence of its own early traditions as well as refined Guler and Mughal styles. In the late 18th Kangra became the most powerful hill state, under Raja Sansar Chand the Kangra art flourished. The most significant topic in contemporary paintings is still love—historical and mythical love stories are brilliantly depicted in paintings like Radha Krishna. The paintings are extremely detailed, revealing not just the main figures but also surroundings filled with carefully painted trees, flowers, and other kinds of life. They truly are poetry in their core.
