Pahari painting

 or Hill painting

Style of miniature painting and book illustration that developed in the independent states of the Himalayan foothills in India c. 1690–1790. Combining the bold intensity of the Basohli school with the delicacy and lyricism of the Kangra school, Pahari painting is closely related to Rajasthani painting. It shares with the Rajput art of the northern Indian plains a preference for depicting legends of the cowherd god Krishna.
