Abstract
India inherited a rich culture of art, architecture and sculpture as its heritage since the time of the Vedas. Even in the
Pre-Vedic non-Aryan period in the artistic creations of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, the Indian ethos of love for artistic
creativity is clearly visible. Rajasthani painting developed in Rajasthan and is considered as a bright chapter in the history
of Hindu Miniature Painting of a high standard in north-western India. The paintings of Matsya region have acquired
a unique place among Rajasthani paintings. The chieftains of this area gave impetus to this art. The engravings and
paintings on ivory, bronze, wood, miniature paintings, hand-made paintings, amorous figures on the walls of palaces,
monuments, buildings, museums speaks volumes of this art. The present paper analyses the rich cultural heritage of
Rajasthan and in particular of Matsya region
