Deccani painting flourished in peninsular India under the Deccani sultanates from the late 16th century. It blended indigenous and foreign styles, using rich colors like gold and white. Persian influence is seen in the floral backgrounds and landscapes. Distinct styles emerged in different sultanates, like Ahmednagar, Bijapur, Golconda, and Hyderabad. Golconda paintings from the 16th-17th century often depicted dancing girls and musicians at court. Hyderabad paintings after 1724 showed royal figures and daily life. Notable works are displayed at the National Museum in New Delhi.

The style is a sensitive, highly integrated blend of indigenous and foreign art forms. Deccani colours are rich and luminous, and much use is made of gold and white. The floral-sprigged backgrounds, high horizons, and general use of landscape show Persian influence.. Distinctive features of the Deccani paintings are observed in the treatment of the ethnic types, costumes, jewellery, flora, fauna, landscape and colours.
