Miniature Art is not a new concept in Rajasthan. Potteries with miniature art has been uncovered in the archeological sites in North Western Rajasthan. These objects depict scenes from myths and Rajputana stories to the life of the royal patrons who encouraged this art form. These paintings are done with delicate brushwork and very vigilantly as they are miniscule in size but adhere to all the detailing.
Miniature Art have been preserved and maintained in the many museums of Rajasthan. The state government upholds the culture and tradition of Rajasthan through the art, craft, paintings and other handiworks of the state.
