Group VII (1) Sri Candrarajano Rasa (Late Deccani - copied at Poona) -1812 A. D. The classified list of new documents also shows the material which U. P. Shah has been able to assemble. It contains perhaps the earliest dated paper manuscript of the Kalpa-sutra and Kalakakatha. Another significant point about the early group is that many of the manuscripts are dated and some of them also bear the names of the places where they were painted. A similar search for illustrated manuscripts which are dated and/or which bear place-names would help us to have a better understanding of the age and provenance of different styles of painting.
