Pahari painting refers to schools active in the Himalayan foothill states of northern India — including Kangra, Guler, and Basohli — from roughly the 17th to 19th centuries. The tradition is particularly associated with lyrical renderings of Krishna devotional poetry and is noted for delicate line work and a refined, atmospheric palette.
