The Kangra School of Painting is a traditional style of Indian painting that originated in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh during the 18th century. It is known for its vibrant colors, intricate details, and themes that often depict scenes from Hindu mythology, particularly those related to the life of Lord Krishna and Radha. The paintings are characterized by their emotional expressions and naturalistic representations of landscapes and flora. This art form flourished under the patronage of the Rajput rulers and was influenced by the Mughal style, blending realism with idealism. The use of natural pigments and delicate brushwork are hallmarks of the Kangra style, making it distinct from other Indian painting traditions. Today, it remains an important cultural heritage, celebrated for its beauty and craftsmanship.
