Answer: Naturalism
According to Goswamy, it was the naturalism in these paintings that appealed to the sensibilities of Pahari artists and caused the change in style.

Most scholars, now, dispute the earlier hypothesis that the sudden change was caused and initiated by the migration of artists from the Mughal atelier. For Goswamy, it was the naturalism in these paintings that appealed to the sensibilities of Pahari artists. Compositions, worked out from a relative point of view, show some paintings with decorated margins. Themes that included recording the daily routine or important occasions from the lives of kings, creation of new prototype for female form and an idealised face, are all associated with this newly emerging style that gradually matures to the Kangra phase.
