MUGHAL SCHOOL AT KISHANGARH, NORTH INDIA, CIRCA 1720-30

Mughal artists such as Bhavani Das and Dalchand moved to Kishangarh in the early 18th century where they worked and imported there the style of the imperial atelier. They were possibly introduced through one of Bahadur Shah’s wives, Amrit Bai Sahiba, the daughter of Maharaja Rup Singh of Kishangarh.
