Very full exhibition of Mughal art from Babur all the way to the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah II deposed by the British in 1858, unlike many books on the Mughals which tend to end at Aurungzeb. Besides the classic illuminations it includes smalelr drawings and even a few early photos.

An ancient Sanskrit epic that depicts the duties of relationships, portraying ideal characters like the ideal servant, the ideal brother, the ideal wife and the ideal king. Prince Rama was exiled with his beloved wife Sita for fourteen years through the plotting of his stepmother. Sita was carried off by the demon Ravana, King of Lanka, and Rama gathered an army of monkeys and bears to search for her. The allies attacked Lanka, killed Ravana and rescued Sita. In order to prove her chastity, Sita entered fire, but was vindicated by the gods and restored to her husband.

The illustrated Ramayana commissioned by Rana Jagat Singh of Mewar in Rajasthan between 1649 and 1653 contained over 400 paintings. This book contains 135 of these paintings, with a detailed introduction discussing the historical and cultural context of the manuscript.
