Pahari painting (means "painting from the mountains") is a terminology for a type of Indian painting that originated in the Himalayan hill kingdoms of North India during the 17th and 18th centuries, mainly in Basohli, Nurpur, Chamba, Kangra, Guler, Mandi, Kullu and Garhwal.
In the 17th century A.D., the Pahari School of miniature painting arose. These paintings are believed to have originated in the Himalayan kingdoms of North India. The Pahari style of painting flourished in the Jammu and Garhwal districts from the 17th to 19th century, influenced by the Mughal School and the Rajasthani School of miniature painting. Paintings from the Pahari School spawned a slew of others. Guler School, Basohli School, Garhwal School, Chamba School, and Kangra School are some of the most important schools of Pahari painting. Each painting style has its own characteristics, but one of the most common features is the depiction of gods and goddesses.
Each school of painting has its own characteristics, but one of the most prominent qualities of the Pahari School of miniature painting is the depiction of gods and goddesses. The Himalayas' magnificent grandeur was frequently reflected in these artworks. While the Rajasthani School of miniature painting influenced the use of vivid and contrasting hues, the Mughal School influenced the use of lavishly adorned frames and borders.
