Kangra is situated in the eastern part of Himachal Pradesh. It is the most populous district of the state of Himachal Pradesh. Today Kangra is also known as Bhawan or Nagarkot. Bhawan because of the Bajreshwari Devi Temple, and Nagarkot because of the fort Nagarkot. Various schools of miniature paintings, collectively called Pahari, flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries in the sub-Himalayan states.
