Excursions of Ajmer
Kishangarh
Kishangarh is 27 Kms north east of Ajmer and was founded by Kishan Singh a Rathore
Prince. In the 18th century it acclaimed fame as one of the finest schools of
miniatures paintings. Though a smaller school with a much shorter duration it
had a more refined style. It peaked under the patronage of Savant Singh an heir
to the throne, who later became a hermit. It is said that Savant Singh modeled
as Krishna while his mistress nicknamed as Bani Thani modelled for Radha.
Paintings of Bani Thani are it most celebrated. The artist of this school favoured
evening lights and grey skies with fine colours. This outstanding school lasted
only a few decades. Today the artists still create duplicates of the work. The
town is now an industrial town for marble and textiles. Kishangarh is connected
by train and bus.
