Miniature Painting
The art of Miniature painting was introduced to the land of India by the Mughals, who brought the much-revealed art form from Persia. In the sixteenth century, trained Indian artists who produced paintings in a new distinctive style, inspired by the royal and romantic lives of the Mughals. The particular miniature produced by Indian artists in their own style is known as Rajput or Rajasthani miniature.

The miniature artists use paper, ivory panels, wooden tablets, leather, marble, cloth and walls for their paintings.Flowers and animals are also the recurrent images in the paintings.
