Although Farrukh Chela was not considered a great artist either in his own time (the A'-in-i-Akbari does not include him among the seventeen foremost artists of the period) or in recent years, his style is so distinctive and idiosyncratic that it invites both interest and close examination.

A good number of paintings produced in the court of Akbar bear names of artists who call themselves as chela.
