From the Jacket: Basohli was among the earliest centres of ' Pahari' painting which developed in the 17th and 18th centuries in the hill States of Jammu and Punjab. It combined the ancient tradition of folk art, associated with Hindu mythology, and Moghul technique. From this happy fusion arose a style of painting which is distiguished by its vibrant colors, simplicity, frankness and passionate approach to theme. This publication sums up the existing information on this school of painting, and presents thirty-eight of the finest examples of the school.
