This school is considered the counterpart of the Pala School in the western India and developed in Mewar and Gujarat during 11th to 15th century.
In the beginning the painting was done on Palm leaves but in later stages it shifted to paper.
Lack of Natural scenes, bulging eyes, angular faces and decorated margins are the features of this school of painting.
In the miniatures of this school the content is mostly taken from the books related to Jainism and particularly from the Biography of Mahavira known as Kalpasutra.
These paintings were created in long, narrow palm leaves and included the fine drawing of outlines.
