Mr. K. C. Aryan's extensive travels all over Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in the course of 55 years revealed to him the fact that these provinces had a developed, colourful and highly individualistic artistic heritage and he was seized with an urge to rescue these arts and crafts from oblivion by collecting and photographing these objets d'art and by bringing them to light in the form of books. He has already written a fascinating volume on Punjabi Painting entitled "100 Years' Survey of Punjab Painting (1841-1941)" which is a pioneering work as well as a magnum opus, Cultural Heritage of Punjab, 3000 B. C.-1947 A.D.
The present volume, a study of, for the most part, unknown pahari murals painted in the Punjab in the 18th and 19th centuries, is intended both as a compact historical introduction and as a vivid panorama of the wall paintings executed in Amritsar, Batala, Pindori, Damdama (Bhatinda), Mani Majra (Chandigarh). Patiala etc. by Pahari painters with the collaboration and assistance of Rajasthani and local painters. Here Mr. Aryan. a scholar, attempts to put his scrupulous research into as lucid and spirited a language as possible. His earlier works. "Folk Bronzes of North-Western India". "Hanuman in Art" and Rural Art of the Western Mimalaya have already won admiration from specialists as well as from the general public in India and abroad.
Illustrations, both monochrome and in colour, are an integral part of this volume. A few reproductions of Pahari and Kankhal wall paintings are also included to enable the reader to compare and contrast them with the murals of Punjab.
