Milwat

Milwat lies near Basohli in the foothills of the western Himalaya. In the late seventeenth century Basohli became a centre of painting under its local rajas. Raja Kirpal Pal patronised artists whose works used vivid colour and expressive faces. Among the subjects of the Basohli painters was the Rasamanjari, a poetic text on love and its moods.
