| Basohli Paintings
A style of basohli painting characterized by vigorous use of primary colors and a peculiar facial formula prevailed in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries in the foothills of western Himalayas in the Jammu & Punjab states. The earliest paintings in this style originated in Basohli (Jammu & Kashmir) from where the style spread to the hill states of Mankot, Nurpur, Kullu,Mandi, Suket, Bilaspur, Nalagarg, Chamba, Guler and Kangra.
In the late 17th century, Basohli Paintings emerged as a great centre of painting. According to well known Dr. Herman Goltz 'Basohli paintings are among the great achievements of Indians'. Their central inspiration is Vaishnaism, the themes have been taken from the Epics & Puranas. The different themes of the paintings are religious (Gita Govinda & Ramayana), Secular, Historical, Contemporary and Literary. Besides the paintings bring out extreme emotion combined with a lyrical sense of Basohli landscape. Basohli paintings are said to be described as poems in colors.
The Basohli style arose as a result of the marriage of the folk art of the hills with Moghul technique. The transparent drapery of woman and clothes of the men are Moghul while the facial formula is local with roots in the folk art of hills. The Jama or side fastening frock-coat with a sash round the waist is the dress of men, while the Choli, a tight fitting bodice covering the breasts, and gagra-like skirt covered with a sari is the dress of a women in these paintings. Thus the Basholi style of painting is not merely an importation of Mughal art from Delhi but the development of a local style remains predominant even after the absorption of Mughal element.
The specially designed 'Wasli Paper' & natural fast colors like flower, earth & stone colors make these Basohli paintings unique.
