Kishangarh :
Kishangarh is 27 Kms north east of Ajmer
and was founded by Kishan Singh a Rathore Prince. In the 18th century it
acclaimed fame as one of the finest schools of miniatures paintings.
Though a smaller school with a much shorter duration it had a more
refined style. It peaked under the patronage of Savant Singh an heir to
the throne, who later became a hermit. It is said that Savant Singh
modeled as Krishna while his mistress nicknamed as Bani Thani modelled
for Radha. Paintings of Bani Thani are it most celebrated. The artist of
this school favoured evening lights and grey skies with fine colours.
This outstanding school lasted only a few decades. Today the artists
still create duplicates of the work. The town is now an industrial town
for marble and textiles. Kishangarh is connected by train and bus.
