Bikaner


Bikaner style of painting traces its origins to the imperial Mughal workshops that dispersed after the decline of royal patronage during Aurangzeb's reign. With its intricate, delicate lines and a colour palette that whispers rather than shouts, it weaves ancient tales of Indian mythology into exquisite masterpieces. Its roots, intertwined with the grandeur of Mughal art, bloom into scenes from the Ragmala, Bhagavata Purana, and Rasalila, each stroke and shade capturing a world where history and legend dance in sublime harmony.
