Three things come magically together in this remarkable series of paintings: a great text, a delectable old romance, and the work of one of the most talented families of painters known to Indian art. The text is the 12th century Naishadacharita of Sriharsha one of the last great kavyas of Sanskrit literature; and the painter family that produced this exquisitely painted series came from the small principality of Guler in the `Pahari' hills: today's Himachal Pradesh. All paintings are in the collection of Amar Mahal Museum, Jammu.
