What to Focus On
- Covers painting traditions of Rajasthan and parts of Madhya Pradesh
- Flourished mainly from the sixteenth to early nineteenth centuries
- Older label Rajput Paintings is now obsolete
- Waslis were layered handmade paper sheets
- Colours came mainly from minerals and precious metals
- Glue acted as the binder
- Bhakti and Vaishnavism strongly influenced subject matter
- Krishna and Radha are major devotional themes
- Literary texts shaped painting themes
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All Rajput painting is the same, so the term Rajput Schools is still the best term to use.
Malwa must have a fixed place of origin like the other schools, so it should be linked to one clear capital.
Ragamala paintings are just pictures of musical instruments or random music scenes.
