Mughal Miniature Paintings
Mughal Miniature paintings are beautiful delights in the form of colorful figures and patterns.
Introduced to the subcontinent from Persia under Mughal patronage, miniature painting holds an extraordinary place in the history of Indian art.
It is a cultural form representing the medieval history of India which now provides us with glimpses of lifestyles of that era. The delicacy of the paintings with their exquisite details of a microscopic world is a pleasure to our eyes as well as our minds.
