The 'Hadoti School' of miniature painting flourished in which region?

Explanation

The Hadoti School belongs to the Bundi and Kota sub-schools, so its region is Kota and Bundi. Rajasthan Tourism links Bundi with the Hadoti region and the miniatures of the Kota and Bundi school. In art-history terms, Bundi painting is treated as the earlier strand, associated with lush green backgrounds, stylised trees and romantic themes, while Kota painting became especially known for dramatic hunting scenes set in forests. Hadoti is therefore not a broad desert label or an Alwar-centred school, but a regional painting tradition centred on Kota and Bundi and shaped by the Chambal ravine landscape.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Jaisalmer and Barmer belong to the desert belt, whereas the Hadoti miniature tradition is tied to Kota and Bundi.
• (B) Alwar and Bharatpur point to a different regional art setting, not the Bundi-Kota grouping identified with Hadoti.
• (C) Shekhawati is better known for fresco traditions, while the Hadoti miniature-painting school is centred on Kota and Bundi.

Concept

Rajasthan art and culture relies on the regional mapping of painting schools. Regional centres, local landscapes and art styles are standard markers in Rajasthan cultural history, so RAS repeatedly tests them.
