In the time before
Indian independence in 1947, Mewar was a princely state in southern Rajasthan,
the capital of which was in the city of Udaipur.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Mewar was one
of the important centers for the Rajasthani style of miniature painting.
The Rajasthani style is characterized by a flat perspective.
Visual power is derived from vivid bands of colors that
often serve as a backdrop to the painting.
