Squirrel-hair brushes, mineral pigment, and a working day measured in square centimetres
Practised for its own sake by the community that carries it. A visitor is a guest, not the reason it happens.
Painters still working the Mewar idiom in the lanes behind Jagdish Temple — some in family lines, some trained at art school, most doing a mix of commissioned work and what sells. The good ones will show you the brush being made, the stone being ground and the burnishing, which is the part that tells you whether what you're looking at took a week or an hour. Placed as an area rather than a door on purpose: individual studios go on this map only with the painter's agreement and their own name on it.
The lanes running north and east off Jagdish Temple. Ask for a painter by name, not for 'a miniature shop' — the second question gets you a shop.
