Miniature Paintings

Founded in the 17th century, the small principality of Kishangarh has one of India's most renowned schools of miniature paintings and has produced the most distinctive religious paintings in Rajasthan. The subject of the paintings is mostly Lord Krishna and his eternal love Radha. The Kishangarh School is distinctive in its portrayal of sharp angular features and almond shape eyes.

Maharani Meenakshi Devi is passionate about local arts and culture. Small study groups come to paint, draw or take part in jewellery workshops, and work with local artists.

There is a workshop near the entrance of Phool Mahal Palace where you can see artists at work.
