Explanation:
Miniatures or small-sized paintings are generally done on cloth or paper using water colours, although the earliest were done on palm leaves and wood.
The Mughals used them mainly to illustrate historical accounts of battles, scenes from the court, lives of people, etc. They were also used to illustrate Jain texts.
Later, this style influenced the paintings of Rajasthan and the Deccan areas to depict mythology, poetry, portraits of the royals.
