Description:
The film uses only Indian miniature paintings, accompanied by a narration, to tell the story of how this art form developed during the reigns of Akbar (1542-1605) and his son Jahangir (1569-1627). Akbar united India and Pakistan, fostering two distinct schools of miniature painting created by anonymous artists. These were the Moghul (Islamic) school, which depicted court life, and the Rajput (Hindu) school, which linked physical beauty and women's desires to spiritual values after Akbar established peace.
