1What are manuscript paintings? Name two places, where the tradition of manuscript painting was prevalent?Show solution
Manuscript paintings are pictorial translations of verses from epic, religious, literary, bardic, or music texts written on manuscripts. Usually, the text is written in a demarcated space on the top of the painting or on the reverse side, and the paintings are arranged as sets of folios.

Two places where this tradition was prevalent are:
- Western India, especially Gujarat
- Eastern India, especially the Pala centres such as Nalanda and Vikramsila
