Rajasthan has a huge geographical area. In terms of the stylistics of art and architecture, each region of the state has its own individuality. These originated as a regional style and had an influence on the areas around them, giving rise to numerous sub-styles. Every location shares the idea of a palace or haveli, but each has its own unique representational style. Tiny paintings have the same sense of originality. Rajasthani painters were completely free to depict whatever remark in their own unique way. As a result, architectural depictions in paintings can differ from actual buildings. The art of wall paintings gradually vanished after the Ajanta classical period, giving rise to a new tradition of decorated manuscripts on palm leaves. Subsequently, the same started with paper, which began when Muslim monarchs arrived in the subcontinent. It's arguable, nevertheless, why wall/mural paintings have vanished. It can be the shift in building construction trends. It used to be rock-cut caverns, but block-patterned structures eventually took their place. The enormous flat surfaces given by the rock-cut caves are ideal for painting. In contrast, block building was compact and reduced the amount of available flat area. Therefore, it's possible that artists looked for a substitute. Because there was no other surface that could be used, painting was done on the palm leaf. Another cause for transformation could be the need for mobility, which a wall surface cannot offer. In various locations where devotees gather, the scrolls are chanted in front of them as a form of worship. Apart from a few minor variations in style, the subjects of paintings have not changed substantially.
