Explanation
Mola Ram (1743–1833) was a celebrated Indian painter, poet, and historian who is considered the greatest master of the Garhwal school of Pahari painting. He lived and worked in Srinagar (Garhwal).
- Garhwal Paintings: Mola Ram's ancestors, Shyam Das and Kehar Das, were Mughal painters who sought refuge in the Garhwal court in the 17th century. Mola Ram refined this lineage's style, blending Mughal techniques with local Pahari sensibilities, characterized by delicate lines and rhythmic compositions.
- Other options: Bundi and Mewar are prominent schools of Rajasthani painting. Kangra is another major school of Pahari painting, but it is distinct from the Garhwal style and is primarily associated with the patronage of Maharaja Sansar Chand in the Kangra valley.
