Paintings of Haryana

Haryana had been the point of confluence for various tribes, races, invaders, cultures and faiths, antedating to 2500 BC and it witnessed the merging of numerous styles of painting. Discoveries of earthenware and designs painted on them in black and white in Siswal district of Haryana are the first impressions of art in this state. Mitathal and Banwali districts have also revealed that art did exist here, but definitely on a much smaller scale than that of the other regions in India. The drawings are mainly in horizontal and vertical lines, with a little more creativity allotted to floral art.
