Add a festive touch to your home with the beauty of this exquisitely detailed & stunningly beautiful handmade miniature art made in the style of the Kangra Pahari school.

Kangra painting is the pictorial art of Kangra, named after Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India, a former princely state, which patronized the art. Pahari paintings, as the name suggests, were paintings executed in the hilly regions of India, in the sub-Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh. It is in the development and modification of Pahari paintings, that the Kangra School features. Kangra paintings belong to the school of Pahari paintings that were patronized by the Rajput rulers between the 17th and 19th centuries.

The striking feature of Kangra paintings is the verdant greenery it depicts. The style is naturalistic, and great attention is paid to detail. The Kangra paintings feature flowering plants and creepers, leafless trees, rivulets and brooks. The Kangra painters employed cool and fresh colors and with the lyrical blending of form and color.

This charming and busy art captures Vishnu and his consort, Lakshmi. They are seated on a lotus pedestal which seems to have come alive with the addition of the floral canopy seemingly dropped from the heavens to form a private, enclosed space for lovers. At the bottom are offerings of flowers, incense, oil lamps, and jeweled cups of pure water or liquor. Such a sacred artwork beholds the viewer to the presence of god.
