Jaisalmer was founded by Bhati Rajputs in the 12th century. It is the second oldest fort after Chittor in Rajasthan where the will-to-do persons together with royal clan provided great contribution to the cultural upliftment. As a result of it, numerous works were composed and illustrated here. Several illustrated manuscripts have been preserved in Jaisalmer Granth Bhandar. The wooden covers of these works have also been painted bearing the portraits of eminent Jain Acharyas Jinballabh Suri and Jindutta Suri. These wooden covers provide a great helping hand in the study of the Indian painting art and its phased development.
