Indian art and craft

India is a patchwork of art and craft forms. The Indian styles of paintings have unique origins and history behind them which make them even more interesting. This exhaustive list of different types of Indian paintings shows how every part of India added to its rich cultural heritage.

A ghungroo, also known as ghunghroo or ghunghru or ghungur or ghungura or Chilanka or Salangai or Gejje, is one of many small metallic bells strung together to form ghungroos, a musical anklet tied to the feet of classical Indian dancers.

"Bani Thani" 80cm x 40cm My own take on an old Indian painting with some Rajasthani & Mughal latticework. Bani Thani was a singer and poet in Kishangarh in the time of king Sawant Singh (1748–1764). Her portrait was painted by Nihal Chand and was featured in an Indian stamp issued on 5 May 1973. She is also known by some as the Indian Mona Lisa 😊 .
