This article seeks to re-discover the glorious manuscript of Bal-Gopal-Stuti which depicts the tales of Krishna based on the hymns attributed to Bilvamangala. Illustrating of the manuscript of Bal-Gopal-Stuti probably began in the early fifteenth century. Bal-Gopal-Stuti is an esteemed literary masterpiece written in Sanskrit devoted to the Hindu God Krishna. Since its composition around thirteenth- fourteenth century. Bilvamangala’s poems have continued to be popular among the devotees of Krishna. Indian art is the outcome of a fusion of several traditions and is still evolving. Indian paintings can be divided into two categories: murals and miniatures. Apparently, miniature paintings, which drew inspiration and source material from the rich legacy of mural and fresco painting, have been known since the seventh or eighth century. Because of their short width and length, the new painting materials limited the scale of the works to miniatures.
