Rukmini Krishna [Mughal Art]

In Hinduism Lord Krishna - Goddess Lakshmi incarnated as Lord Krishna and Goddess Rukmini respectively. Mughal painting is a particular style of South Asian, particularly North Indian (more specifically, modern day India and Pakistan), painting confined to miniatures either as book illustrations or as single works to be kept in albums (muraqqa). It emerged from Persian miniature painting (itself partly of Chinese origin) and developed in the court of the Mughal Empire of the 16th to 18th centuries. The Mughal emperors were Muslims and they are credited with consolidating Islam in South Asia, and spreading Muslim (and particularly Persian) arts and culture as well as the faith. After a tentative start under Humayun, the great period of Mughal painting was during the next three reigns, of Akbar, Jahangir & Shah Jahan, which covered just over a century between them.
