Pahari Paintings are a traditional form of Indian art that originated in the hilly regions of Himachal Pradesh during the 17th to 19th centuries. These paintings are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate details, and themes often drawn from Hindu mythology, nature, and courtly life. Artists used natural pigments and employed techniques that highlighted the beauty of the mountainous landscape. The style is known for its delicate brushwork and the use of gold and silver leaf, which adds a luminous quality to the artwork. Pahari Paintings often depict scenes from the life of Lord Krishna and other deities, showcasing the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region.
