Nature is at its best here. God's spectacular creation makes the onlooker awe-struck. The beautiful river is flowing down the mountain. Rocks and surroundings are nicely painted in this spectacular silk painting. Such silk paintings are marked by its elegance, softness and a flexibility of style. Silk is used as a medium for portraits and paintings since the matter is very light and soft. Craftsmen use a special process that allows the silk canvas to retain the paint in vibrant detail.

Silk Paintings reached their peak of glory during the Mughal era. Mughal kings patronized arts and literature. The Rajput kingdoms of Rajasthan were the hot spots for these miniature paintings. Rich court life and religious themes are often depicted as a characteristic of this art form. Beautiful ladies often figure prominently in these paintings along with vibrant gemstone coloring. The heavy use of gold leaf appears as another distinguishing characteristic.
