Datia Style
Datia is known for its excellent and elaborate illustrations of the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavata Purana and legends from other Puranas. The bulk of portrait-painting from Datia is large and magnificent. The art-world and the art-style of Datia stand in artistic merit at par with any of the major art-styles of Indian miniature painting. A comparatively larger rectangular canvas, profusion of deep blue and black colors, narrative quality, elaborate details and simple unadorned borders define the art-style of Datia.
