The Marotia Familyमारोतिया परिवार

A Jaipur family that has kept the Jaipur School of miniature painting for six generations, passed from parent to child. Nathu Lal Marotia, the grandfather of the present generation, was a royal artist of Jaipur and the first teacher of his sons, Babu Lal and Hari Narayan Marotia — both now National Award-winning masters. For three decades the family has demonstrated the craft at the City Palace Museum, Jaipur, to visitors from India and around the world, and every summer, from 21 May to 21 June, it teaches a month-long miniature painting camp there, open to anyone who wants to learn.
