Manaku of Guler or Manaku (c. 1700–1760) was an Indian painter from the Guler State, in modern-day Himachal Pradesh.[1] After his death he was mostly forgotten and overshadowed by his much-celebrated younger brother Nainsukh.[2] But today he is recognised as an exponent of Pahari style of painting, much like his brother.[3] The rediscovery of Manaku has been a result of research efforts by art historians like B. N. Goswamy.[4][5] Like Nainsukh, Manaku almost never signed his works, and only four extant works carry his signature.[6] He was a member of the Seu-Manaku-Nainsukh family.
