Rajasthan has an ancient tradition of art which began with the dwellers’ desire to escape the harsh landscape of the desert by painting the walls of their homes. Starting from the floral and geometric patterns in the humblest mud house, through the paintings on the havelis of Shekhawati, to the elaborate frescoes in Amber Palace, Jaipur, wall art has been honed to perfection by the colour-loving craftsmen and women of Rajasthan.
Rajasthan's role in the development of Indian art has been very important. The decoration of dwellings and other household objects was but one aspect of the creative genius of the Rajasthani - the world of miniature paintings is perhaps the most fascinating and the distinctive styles that have existed here are renowned the world over.
