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.
