Painted Havelis
Scenes depicted cover 10 broad themes—decorative designs, daily life, religion, raga mala, folk mythology, historical events or personalities, flora and fauna, erotica, maps or places, and the British and their contraptions. Before the 19th century, artists used natural colours such as lampblack, and red, green and yellow ochres.

The havelis earned their splendour through backbreaking effort. Mural painting was an elaborate process, involving different materials, layers and techniques.
