Before the Mughal invasion of 1526, the north of the subcontinent was divided up into several independent Hindu and Muslim kingdoms. Many of these were culturally very sophisticated, and paintings and architecture from many different areas survive to illustrate this.
Hindu painting at this time in northern India dealt mainly with mythical and religious subjects such as the exploits of the god Krishna. Real people were not depicted in Indian painting at this time. Colours were bright and flat, with no use of shading or perspective, and figures were highly stylised.
Another important group of patrons of medieval Indian manuscript painting was the Jain merchant community of western India.
Jainism is a religion similar to Buddhism in its commitment to non-violence and its lack of an individual deity. Because agriculture involves the killing of tiny insects and animals, Jains have always favoured commercial professions. Wealthy Jain businessmen were (and still are) pious patrons of devotional art, and many of the most beautiful manuscripts and temples of the pre-Mughal period were commissioned by them.
