All Indian artists could not make the required grade in the Mughal Imperial atelier and shifted to their respective family homes. While returning they had carried some Mughal painting traits. The influence of Mughal style is obvious in the early Rajasthani and Pahari paintings. The formative style of Rajasthani School of painting towards the end of the 16th century for the first time is seen in early Mewar paintings. Later several states of Rajasthan had developed their own individual styles of painting, the most prominent amongst them were Kota, Bundi, Bikaner, Kishangarh and Mewar and Jaipur. Once Rajasthani Miniature painting came into being, it progressed rapidly under local painters and the obvious feature in them was the Mughal style influence, but their art was very different in temperament and outlook. Part of this difference lay in the more lyrical approach of Rajasthani artists and the pleasure they derived from pure lines and colours.
