Both Indian and Persian artists, together wove a spell of art , one drew while the other filled in the colour and details. This further received momentum when Akbar commissioned the translation and illustration of Hindu Epics like the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

The tradition received more encouragement under Jehangir, Akbar's son, who was also a great patron of arts and architecture.
