[3] Seu must have left the hills and travelled to the plains, where he came into contact with Mughal artists of the late-Mughal style.

[4] Seu was alive when Aurangzeb was disassembling the Mughal ateliers, which led to these artists to leave Delhi for other states, such as Guler.

[2] He was the patriarch of the Seu-Manaku-Nainsukh family, which would produced famous artists such as Manaku, Nainsukh, Fattu, Khushala, Kama, Ranjha, Gursahai, Sukhdayal, Deviditta, Gaudhu, Nikka, Saudagar, Attra, and Ramdayal.

[4] Seu belonged to the phase of Pahari painting that began in 1730 onwards that was characterized by a move toward a naturalistic style and innovations, perhaps due to Mughal influence.

[2] Seu's work is characterized by distinct outlines and an affinity for strong background colors, which is characteristic of earlier styles.
