Classical Painting Stores

Being home to some of the most valuable and exquisite classical paintings, there are a host of art galleries and Classical Painting Stores in India, which feature the best, and probably the most expensive. Be it miniature paintings, Rajasthani or Rajput paintings, Rajput miniature paintings or Rag Ragini paintings, these have a major market not only among the elite circles of India, but foreigners and non-resident Indians are among the buyers of classical paintings. Most of the work in miniature painting draws from daily life, the form distinguished by its small sizes and intricate art work.
The art form can actually traced back to 6th and 7th century AD. Miniature paintings have especially been influenced by Mughal lives and period. Most of the classical paintings depict stories from Hindu scriptures and from stories related to Gods and Goddesses. One of the best ways of buying and researching on Classical Painting Stores is in and through the internet.
There are host of online Classical Painting Stores, each offering good deals and a range of styles and themes to choose from. One of the popular disciplines is the Kangra Miniatures of Pahari School. While some of the paintings are resold by art collectors, most of these paintings can be viewed in the national museums and galleries. Some of these stores in Kolkata are Devs Art Gallery, Devashram and Sattva. In Delhi some of the Classical Painting Stores, which may feature classical paintings Sankalp Craft India, Crest Creations, Dastkar, Shubhanken Gallery and Mughal Jewels and Crafts Emporium. The Rajasthan State Emporiums are also a good bet in New Delhi.

But some of the finest replicas (and sometimes the original) of classical paintings are found not in the art galleries and Classical Painting Stores, but in the small curio shops tucked in small streets of most of the metropolitan cities.
