Pahari Art is a traditional style of painting that originated in the hilly regions of northern India, particularly in the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. This art form flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries, characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and themes drawn from Hindu mythology, nature, and courtly life. The paintings are often created on paper using natural pigments and depict scenes of love, devotion, and folklore. Notable schools of Pahari Art include the Kangra and Guler styles, each with unique features and techniques that reflect the cultural heritage of the region.
