The village of Kholui, began painting
lacquer miniatures in the 1930's. Kholui artists are less
bound to tradition or one particular style, unlike the
other villages, and seem to take a bolder approach to their
works. Backgrounds for Kholui works are occasionally one
solid color (similar to Palekh), but more often than not
the artist fills this area with swirls of tone and shade.
Partly for this reason, Kholui works appear brighter than
Palekh boxes and seem to fill up more of the available
space.
