Read Explanation:

Pahari Style of Paintings Pahari painting refers to Indian miniature art from the hilly regions of North India. It emerged between the 17th and 19th centuries in areas such as Basohli, Mankot, Nurpur, Chamba, Kangra, Guler, Mandi, and Garhwal. Nainsukh, a prominent artist in the mid-18th century, was a key figure in the development of this style, and his family workshop continued producing art for two more generations. The central theme of Pahari painting revolves around the eternal love of Radha and Krishna, the Hindu god and goddess. These miniatures are known for their lyrical quality, rhythmic energy, delicate softness, intricate detail, and vivid portrayal of human emotions. Unlike other miniature traditions, such as those of Deccan, Mughal, and Rajasthani-Rajput, Pahari painting has its own unique charm and character.
