Kanheri Geet Govinda

Kanheri Geet-Govinda was executed in Khandesh in 1765 A.D. It is at present preserved in Samarth Wagdevata Mandir, Dhule-Maharashtra. It is complete and contains 290 miniature paintings.

They are executed in an original style of Khandesh and therefore keeping in view the focal character of Geet-Govinda, Radha, I call this style, "Kanheri". With the discovery of this Geet-Govinda a new style has been discovered in the field of Indian Miniature painting.

The paintings are superb and represent regional Khandeshi influence. They are also influence with Rajasthani and Nagpur styles.
