What is the most striking feature and moving examples of the sixteenth-century Decani School of paintings (Ahmadnagar)?

Feminine dress

Answer: Feminine dress

The feminine dress, present in a series of Ragamala paintings, are the most striking and moving examples of the sixteenth century Deccan Schools of Painting (Ahmadnagar). The women’s hair is rolled up in a bun on the nape of the neck, similar to the Lepakshi murals. The horizon, in the painting, disappears and is replaced by a neutral coloured ground patterned all over with small stylised plants, or occupied by symmetrical architectural domes over the archades. All these features, except the hairstyle, have traces of north India or Persia
