Then follows the foundation of the old Western school by one Śringadhara, an artist from Mārwār in the 7th century. This school does not seem to have been localised in Western India, but its traditions seem to have travelled as far as Nepāl where, according to the testimony of Tārānātha, the earlier schools of art resembled the old Western school. In Kashmīr as well in ancient days there were followers of the Western school, until Hāsurāja founded a new school.
