The Genesis of Miniature Paintings

The culture and history of the western Himalayas gave birth, to an Art form in the17th Century, which we now know as the "Miniature Paintings". Though known specimens of this art form can be traced only to the latter part of the 18 th Century, one has every reason to believe that this art form existed way before the datable specimens.
