Types of Indian Painting have evolved in a parallel manner in the course of time. There are different styles of paintings which have emerged in the due course of time in different geographic locations as a result of religious and cultural impact. The paintings of India can be broadly classified as wall paintings and miniature paintings. The different types of Indian paintings fall under this two broad category but again they can also be classified depending on their evolution, emergence and style. Almost all of the ancient paintings are engraved on the wall of temples and caves. Miniature paintings are paintings made on small canvasses of papers and clothes. This type of art mainly evolved in the medieval age especially narrating the royal life and this form of art is popular until now. The technique and medium are the two major aspects of painting. Depending on these, paintings can be further classified as Patachitra, Marble paintings, Batik, Kalamkari, Silk paintings, Velvet paintings, Palm Leaf Etchings, Glass painting in India, etc. Finally religion and culture also have immense impact on paintings. Folk paintings, Indo-Islamic art and Buddhist art are different types.

The making of marble painting requires meticulous skills and utmost patience. Firstly the marble is coated with neutral colours to prepare the marble base. Then, in order to attain the perfect colour, the marble is sponged with required colours. A detailed outline of the drawing is etched out of marble piece. The process that follows is of adding colours and at times gold leaves, gold dust, lacquers and jewels. The colours that are used for marble painting are made out of mineral dyes and natural vegetable. The use of precious stones and gold is optional and entirely depends on the buyers and manufacturers (if the item happens to be made of order items). The use of lacquer actually adds a enduring finish to the marble painting and enhances its life value.
