Horses were important components in royal portraiture, processions, ragamalas (series of images pertaining to verses that correspond to musical systems), and narrative scenes. Pahari artists perfected their ability to depict horses by sketching with brush and black pigment on handmade paper. White pigment was used to cover lines that the artist considered to be less than perfect.
