About
A 400-year-old painting tradition using natural pigments on wood panels and paper, distinguished by a rich golden-brown background and themes drawn from Mughal court scenes and Indian epics.
Did you know? Nirmal painters traditionally prepare their own gold-toned background wash from a closely guarded natural pigment recipe passed down within artist families for centuries.
