EXHIBITION OF INDIAN MINIATURE PAINTINGS
*:
An exhibition of a rare collection of 100 Indian miniature paintings
opens at the City Museum and Art Gallery today.
The paintings are from the National Museum of India.
They represent almost all the schools and styles of Indian paintings
from early 15th to mid 19th centuries.

They originate from many regions of the sub-continent from Kashmir
in the north to Kerala in the south, from Rejasthan in the west to Orissa in
the east.
The paintings represent the prevalent art and culture, costumes,
ethnic types, flora and fauna of India during these periods.
This exhibition, which will be on display until March 25, is part
of the Urban Council's contribution to the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
It is presented in collaboration with the Indian High Commission
as part of their celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Indian Independence.
