'''Manohar Das''', also '''Manohar''' or '''Manuhar''', ([[Floruit|fl.]] 1582–1624) was an Indian [[Hinduism|Hindu]] painter in the [[Mughal painting|Mughal style]].<br />
<br />
Manohar's father [[Basawan]] was a master painter in the [[Mughal emperors|Mughal emperor's court]], where Manohar grew up. His father most likely instructed him, and later Manohar became a court painter as well. His earliest works were painted for [[Akbar]], and then later he was in the service of Akbar's son and successor [[Jahangir]]. Manohar's works frequently depicted the royal families and life at court. Some of his works can be found at the [[British Museum]] and the [[Victoria and Albert Museum]].<br />
