The Pahari region originates some of the most skilful and innovative artists in the history of Indian miniature painting. The range of painted subjects is wide but the production of narrative series was always of great interest. Especially Manaku of Guler and his following generation dedicated much of their artistic energy to create immersive visual narrations. One of the most splendid series is the so-called “Second Guler Gitagovinda” which will be the focus of this contribution.
