Paintings of women in Rajestan

Small paintings are today among the most sought after souvenirs from Rajasthan. All major centers of miniatures, namely Kishangarh, Udaipur, Jaipur and Marwar have their own styles of depicting spiritual and court scenes. Paintings of women are another theme, which Kishangarh has perfect as the Indian Mona Lisa.

Pichhwais of Nathdwara wholly show the scenes of life of Lord Krishna. Phad is another style painted on long cloths using red colors, which habitually depict the entire life story of popular local legend Pabuji.
