Bundi School of Painting, considered as an important and one of the most popular Rajasthani styles of Indian miniature painting, originated in the 17th century in the princely state of Bundi. The figurative art of the Bundi school of paintings serves not only to create powerful means of diffusion for religious thought but also touch upon the most varied aspects of life around it. Through the compositions and descriptions made by the Bundi artists, the lifestyle of royals, battle fields, festivals and horse races are beautifully depicted in Bundi paintings. This type of miniature painting became an important source to understand the social, cultural, political and religious aspects of that period in Rajasthan.
