Two centuries ago, the British botanists began a visual study of Indian flora. Indian artists were commissioned to make botanical paintings which were sent back to Britain where it still survives in collections at some of the Royal botanical gardens. 

India has always been a pluralist society with many influences. The flora is a manifestation of this. Over the centuries the Indian flora has been cross-pollinated through trade from regions across the world. These overtimes got indigenised and became Indian.

Siddhartha Das Studio has commissioned skilled miniature artists to create a series of botanical paintings of Indian flowering plants to celebrate this legacy.
