Jain Miniature Paintings from Western India c5.6

c5.6

For a thorough understanding of Western Indian painting it is necessary to have a knowledge of the technical process involved. The Mānasollāsa, a work of encyclopædic nature written in the twelfth century, is of great help in understanding the contemporary technique of painting. There is a full description of colours which I have supplemented from the colour formulas found by Muni Punyavijayajī.
