Miniatures (as their very name suggests) are small-sized paintings, generally done in watercolor on cloth or paper. The earliest miniatures were on palm leaves or wood. • Some of the most beautiful of these, found in western India, were used to illustrate Jaina texts. The Mughal emperors Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan patronized highly skilled painters who primarily illustrated manuscripts containing historical accounts and poetry. Mughal miniature painting reached its peak during the rule of Jahangir. These were generally painted in brilliant colors and portrayed court scenes, scenes of battle or hunting, and other aspects of social life. They were often exchanged as gifts and were viewed only by an exclusive few - the emperor and his close associates.
