Tracking Kishangarh miniatures back to Phool Mahal Palace

The Hindu  

At Phool Mahal Palace, the world slows down. We meet Vaishnavi Kumari, from the erstwhile royal house of Kishangarh, over lunch in a room lined with miniatures and paintings of Krishna and Radha. A modern take Miniatures are one of India’s richest visual art traditions, whether they are Rajasthani, Pahari, or Mughal, and are a key reference that many contemporary artists are now revisiting. Like Safir Anand, who joins Vaishnavi Kumari at Phool Mahal Palace. The contemporary works from Vaishnavi Kumari’s atelier — founded in 2010 to inject new patronage in the traditional art form — carry the traditional stylisations, but with the addition of contemporary strokes and a brighter colour palette.
