Accepted Answer

The Ragamala paintings, also known as the Mewar paintings, were the first specific work belonging to Rajasthani Painting. These paintings mainly portray the incidents from the life of Krishna and his relations with the gopis and Radha, the hero and heroine themes of Hindi poetry, and the pictorial representations of the Indian musical nodes.

The scenes from the Bhagavata, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana were also illustrated on a wider canvas, and hundreds of figures overcrowding the scenes play their roles against the background of the social life of the time. Also, scenes from rural life, marriage ceremonies, processions, dance and music parties, and the life of the palace are depicted with feeling. The Pahari Painting also termed Rajput paintings, belongs to Rajasthani paintings.
