About The Book
The Art of Bikaner offers a deep dive into the rich artistic tradition of Bikaner, showcasing around sixty paintings that exemplify the distinctive Bikaner style. These works are mostly executed on handmade paper, with some on silk, and reflect clear influences from Mughal traditions. The book highlights the artist’s on-site observations during visits to significant spiritual and cultural locations, such as the Khumbh Mela, Ganga Sagar Mela, and the revered Dargah shrine in Ajmer. The sketches made at these locations were later transformed into intricate paintings in the studio.
The collection also includes twenty-four avatars or godly incarnations based on the Bhagwat Puran, adding a spiritual dimension to the artistic journey. Through these detailed works, The Art of Bikaner transports readers to an India full of mystery, spirituality, and artistic richness, offering a visual exploration of one of the country’s most captivating art traditions.
