Natural pigments within Indian miniature painting

Natural pigments within Indian miniature painting vary from real gold & precious stones all the way down to bodily secretions such as cow ur!ne to make a pigment called Indian yellow. These minerals would be ground, pounded and filtered through different chemical and manual processes before they were deemed ready to use
.
Some pigments made from botanicals would take months to process in order for them to be deemed suitable for use. This is because these botanicals would also have components that would make the paints volatile therefore would take months to remove unwanted minerals. Many of the traditions of making natural pigments is being lost due to knowledge not being passed down as some required laborious processed which remain a secret to only a few artisans who know. These colours are becoming rarer to see, one such example is the pigment made from a chui mui ( touch me not ) flower

कामना के तरकश से,
चले प्रीत के तीर,  प्रेम के देव ने देख जोड़े को, किया दिलों पर प्रेम घाव गंभीर|

From the quiver of desire,
The love arrows been drawn
Cupid has seen the couple
and wounded their heart with
devotion
