Great that you went ahead and learnt so much about miniature paintings.This isn't about mugging up dry facts from history (or art history in this case) and doing some high funda course and getting a degree. It's more about appreciating something unique and beautiful, and wanting to know more.monideepa sahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731911159001857813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31157419.post-26030784585873972982011-12-08T18:51:30.390+05:302011-12-08T18:51:30.390+05:30The Guler style given by Nainsukh was the 2nd phas...The Guler style given by Nainsukh was the 2nd phase of pahari miniature (1st phase:basholi style) and it was followed by Kangra style which are attributed to the Nainsukh family. <br /><br />Its strange that now I know this even when I never had liked the History subject in my school days. <br />And I did even a google search on this topic to know more about it (after reading your article in Deccan Herald).samyyyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016975617773328082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31157419.post-14069957131700352412011-12-08T16:45:15.083+05:302011-12-08T16:45:15.083+05:30Thanks for dropping by, Samyyyr.

Nainsukh interpreted, incorporated and single-handedly changed the course of pahari miniature paintings, which are distinctive in their style and subjects. Even when Nainsukh copied Mughal paintings, he added his own interpretations and refinements. He worked under the patronage of Raja Balwant Singh of Jasrota.monideepa sahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731911159001857813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31157419.post-33001817889009489532011-12-08T13:41:34.967+05:302011-12-08T13:41:34.967+05:30Our heritage is our culture.
