Art Form

Bikaner

The Bikaner style of painting is a sub-school of the Rasjasthani miniature art. It is also the closest sub-school to the Mughal miniature style. A famous painter Rukh-ud-din bought many decani art elements to the Bikaner painting style. Such as rendering fountains, and depiction of nature and nature based background.  The Bikaner paintings can be seen on the walls of the heritage monuments across Bikaner, Jodhpur and Shekhavati. The main themes of Bikaner paintings are scenes from Indian mythology and the Rajasthani way of life. Also depicted are the episodes from religious stories such as Bhagwad Gita, Shivpurana, etc. Bikaner paintings depict beautiful portraits in an almost Mughal miniature style and are made with delicate lines.
