Rajput paintings evolved and flourished in the royal courts of Rajputana kingdoms. Each kingdom has it's unique style, features and distinguishable from one another by it's composition, use of lines and colours defining the forms and figures within the painting. Here the painting depicts the King or the royal playing flute along with his female co musicians and so beautifully that tune they are playing that even the gods are pleased and showers blessings from the heaven. Excellent detailing of the majesty and his companion amid heavenly ambience can be observed.
