Abstract

The origin of the Mughal miniature school is a key milestone in the history of Indian art with its unique blend of Islamic, Persian, and European styles. The subject of these Mughal miniatures ranged from hilly landscapes, flora, fauna, military expeditions, birth, weddings, and scenes of life that provide information on various aspects of history. The miniature paintings are illustrations in the books Akbarnama of Akbar, Baburn ama of Babur and Tuzk-e- Jahangiri of Jahangir. This paper is an attempt to interpret the historical significance of Mughal Miniature paintings and highlight their enormous contribution to our heritage.
