As Hindu-rulers of Rajputana maintained close political and social links to the Mughal court, one can observe strong Mughal influence paintings here. Influenced by the surroundings, miniature paintings have their own unique style; hiils and valleys, court assemblies and hunting expeditions, religious festivals, processions and scenes from the life of Lord Krishna - a widely devoted Hindu God in India.
Miniature paintings are different in size and material. Paper, silk and wood was used, for more valuable paintings also marble and ivory.The colours were made from minerals and vegetables, precious stones as well as pure silver and gold.The preparing and mixing of colour was an elaborate process. It took weeks, sometimes months, to get the desired results.
The brushes have to be very fine and are therefore prepared by the artists themselves. To get high-quality results, the brush is even today made from hairs of the squirrels, tail- carefully cut without harming the little animal.
