NCERT (2026-27): “Bundi School of Painting …Painting activity entered its most accomplished phase albeit for a short time during the long reign of Budh Singh’s son, Umed Singh (1749–1771), where it acquired refinement in minuteness of details. … Umed Singh’s successor Bishen Singh (1771–1821) ruled Bundi for 48 years and was a connoisseur of art. … Under his successor Ram Singh (1821–1889), the chitrashalain of the Bundi palace was decorated with mural paintings of royal processions, hunting scenes and episodes of Krishna’s story.” |
