Rajasthan is one of the pioneers of miniature paintings in India. Rajasthani painting, the style of miniature painting that developed mainly in the independent Hindu states of Rajasthan in western India in the 16th-19th century. It evolved from Western Indian manuscript illustrations, though Mughal influence became evident in the later years of its development. Rajasthani painting differs from the Mughal painting of the imperial ateliers at Delhi and the provincial courts in its bolder use of colour, an abstract and conventionalized conception of the human figure, and an ornamental treatment of landscape. In keeping with the new wave of popular devotionalism within Hinduism, the subjects principally depicted are the legends of the Hindu cowherd god Krishna and his favourite companion, Radha. Phad painting or Phad is a style religious scroll painting and folk painting, practiced in Rajasthan state of India.
