Ruknuddin's ancestors came from the Maratha court.

Explanation:

Answer: Ruknuddin's ancestors came from the Maratha court.
The incorrect statement is that Ruknuddin's ancestors came from the Maratha court. In fact, his ancestors came from the Mughal court.

In the reign of Anup Singh, Ruknuddin (whose ancestors came from the Mughal court) was the master artist, whose style was an amalgamation of the indigenous idiom with Deccani and Mughal conventions. He painted significant texts, such as the Ramayana, Rasikapriya and Durga Satpsati. Ibrahim, Nathu, Sahibdin and Isa were other well-known painters in his atelier.
