Kangra Folk Paintings
Every work of art is fragrant of its time, said Laurence Binyon. The religion of Vaishnavism provided Kangra painters with inspiration while in the ruler, Sansar Chand, they found a patron who honored and encouraged them. It was in such happy circumstances that these artists created a style which combines elegance with nervous grace. There is delicacy and sensitivity in the line, combined with rare beauty of color.

For almost forty years these artists were aglow with inspiration and they created these memorable paintings which communicate the spiritual concepts of Vaisnavism so vividly.
