History of IndiaMughal Empire
Identify the Mughal painter not mentioned by Abul Fazl?
  1. a.Farooq
  2. b.Mushkin
  3. c.Mansur
  4. d.Mukund

Answer: (C) Mansur

Mansur was a celebrated Mughal painter known for his naturalistic depictions of animals and birds, particularly during Jahangir's reign. Abul Fazl's Ain-i-Akbari lists prominent Mughal painters of Akbar's court, but Mansur does not appear in that list because he worked primarily as a colourist in the Akbarnama plates and rose to prominence later under Jahangir.
