The renowned collection of Indian miniature paintings assembled by Nanalal Chamanlal Mehta is widely acknowledged for its historical and artistic significance. Representing a comprehensive spectrum of regional schools and diverse thematic content, the collection spans a period from the 16th to the 19th centuries, offering an exceptional glimpse into the evolution of Indian miniature art over four centuries.

This extensive collection encompasses a wide array of styles, including but not limited to the Mughal, Rajput, Deccani, and Pahari schools, each characterized by its distinctive artistic techniques, iconography, and cultural influences.
