All entry to the exhibition will be free. Mughal painting is a particular style of South Asian painting,
generally confined to miniatures either as book illustrations or as
single works to be kept in albums, which emerged from Persian
miniature painting, with Indian Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist influences,
and developed largely in the court of the Mughal Empire (16th - 19th
centuries), and later spread to other Indian courts, both Muslim and
Hindu, and later Sikh. Mughal painting developed and flourished during
the reigns of Akbar, Shah Jahan and Jahangir. Themes including musical
parties; lovers, sometimes in intimate positions, on terraces and
gardens; and ascetics gathered around a fire, abound in the Mughal
paintings at the exhibition. For more information kindly visit the website www.sufipaintings.com
