The Basohli painting, due to its enthusiast patrons got immortalized for good. Even today, Basohli is determined as the metaphor for dynamic, audacious and imaginative style with unconventional patterns and peculiar facial medicine in original colours of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century at the foothills of the western Himalayas in the Jammu and Punjab states. someone else leading school in the line was Chamba, situated on north-west by Jammu and Kashmir while the scintillating Ladakh also located nearby.

Chamba is one of the rare places which has got its history well-documented from the circa 500 Ad in the shape of temples and artifacts dating back to hundreds of years. This place, owing to its natural mammoth surroundings, was hard enough to be exposed to the invaders in difference to the planes; therefore, the peace and garage economy remained a distinctive highlight of this place, pivotal for the development of arts and crafts. Colours, facial expressions and dresses, of Chamba style of painting, could be found under great work on of the later Mughal style of small painting, while the artists captured the lush green flora of the mountains around.

Chamba style declined in the second half of the nineteenth century.In expanding to the evolution of Pahari Painting, Guler style is determined as the early phase of the Kangra-Kalam. Historically, Guler painting was rendered by artists who, in the middle of eighteenth century, sought asylum and patronage of the Rajas of Guler and Kangra, and were skilled and trained at the Mughal courts. Guler, among the hill-states, continued the tradition of painting for the longest period. Delicacy and grace were the main features of Guler style while precision in drawing and fresh colours were other unique attributes. In Guler painting, hilly scenery was not painted in fact as the background, instead the architecture associated with the scene or activity, got more space and significance.After Guler, comes Kangra style. Basically known for lyrical and refined line quality, Kangra absorbed many traits of the colse to Guler style, especially in terms of tones and tinges.

Hindu scriptures were in trend as the themes of the paintings thanks to the patronage by Hindu Rajas like Sansar Chand; a illustrious ruler of the Kangra state in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Furthermore, court scenes were also very popular as the rulers, very often, commissioned many artists to paint them in a very formal and valid style, a tradition might come here from the west with East India Company.

Collectively speaking; fish-shaped elongated eyes, oval faces, receding foreheads, round chins and leading noses of the characters put against the monochromic backgrounds of yellow, red and green colours, made the Pahari paintings attractive and admirable among all and sundry.Decorativeness was attained in the scenery straight through trees with very subtle horizon line in the background. In Guler, in the 18th century, naturalistic manner got popularity as slightly cooler and fresh colours were being used, while at one fell swoop, the linearity of the painting tended towards lyrical and free flowing quality, both these elements could be seen splendid in the second quarter of the 18th century in Guler-Kangra school of Painting, which was marked as the exploitation of green vegetation and graceful female facial exposé.

The feminine beauty at this juncture of time could be seen as on its most sensitive height with young female form with its detail adorned the frame amid the lavish vegetation or mammoth Mughal style architecture. By virtue of refined vegetable extracts and mineral pigments, the skill of the artist and his mastery over the brush terminated the surfaces of paintings with glossy and opaque look. Like all court paintings of the world, Pahari paintings about their branch matter, depicted the royal life and its associated events, a tradition that was also at the height of fashion in the Mughal courts, who were influenced by the Persian custom of royalty. But at the same time, religious topics in connection with Krishna, Gita and other aboriginal gods and their lives were among the most popular themes.

The epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, secular scripts like Ragmalas and the love-stories of gods and goddesses and separate deities, especially of the Vishnu, which were put in black and white by the poets from 11th to the 16th century, were painted in plenty in this area. All this was continued till the end of the 19th century when the Britons has captured almost the whole subcontinent. After the Sikhs captured the hill states, the Pahari school of painting got under the patronage of Sikh courts, who owing to their political priorities and instability in the planes, could not take good care of these schools at hills whereas, a new style of art by virtue of the French courtiers of Ranjit singh's court, developed and evolved in the planes of Punjab, overshadowing the popularity and trend of small painting, which traveled from Persia to the Mughal courts and then gloriously took its last breath, atop hills.
