Answer 2

The Rajasthani miniature paintings are made up of watercolors.

• Rajasthan is one of India's first miniature painting hotspots.
• Around the early 15th century, this art type emerged in the Marwar-Mewar region as textual illustrations of the Jain scripture Kalpa-Sutras.
• These paintings indicate a continuation of the great traditions of Ajanta murals and Gujrat Jain art.
• This first art style is a blend of indigenous art forms with influences from the Ajanta and Gujarat art traditions, as seen in the Bhagavata paintings rendered at Palam in 1555 and reflected in all subsequent major and minor art styles of Rajasthan.
