Nathdwara, a town close to Udaipur and a prominent Vaishnava centre, also emerged as a school of painting in the late seventeenth century. Large backdrops called pichhwais were painted on cloth for the deity, Shrinathji, for several festive occasions.

Bani Thani belongs to the Kishangarh sub-school of Rajasthani Painting.

Phads are long, horizontal cloth scrolls painted to honour folk deities of pastoral communities inhabiting the region around Bhilwara in Rajasthan. Among the many popular traditions of painting, Mithila or Madhubani painting of Bihar, Warli painting of Maharshtra, Pithoro Painting of North Gujarat and western Madhya Pradesh, Pabuji ki Phad from Rajasthan, Pichhwai of Nathdwara in Rajasthan, Gond and Sawara Paintings of Madhya Pradesh, Pata Chitra of Odisha and Bengal, etc., are few examples. Here, a few of them have been discussed.

Dhola and Maru painting of Jodhpur, 1810, is displayed at National Museum, New Delhi.
