Miniature Painting of Delhi

The Delhi school is a direct offshoot of the Mughal School. Mansoor, a famous painter of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir's court, is said to be the author of this school and his direct descendants can still be found following in his footsteps. Known for its dynamism and naturalism, this school used a strong contrast in colours and the paintings, which were done on ivory. Now because of the ban on ivory, a special handmade paper is used to create these exquisite paintings.
