Pahari Artists

Pahari artists are traditional painters from the Himalayan region of northern India and Pakistan, particularly the Himalayan hill states like Himachal Pradesh and Jammu. They are renowned for their exquisite miniature paintings that often depict royal court life, Hindu gods and goddesses, and local folklore. Using natural pigments and fine brushwork, these artists create vibrant, detailed artworks that reflect cultural stories and religious themes. Their work, part of the Pahari school of painting, has a rich historical significance and showcases the region’s artistic heritage, blending spirituality, storytelling, and craftsmanship.
