pwm,

While textile pigments like indigo were available in South India and there is evidence that even the Romans traded in these and in spices at Poompuhar, the colour yellow and ochre, orange and saffron were not available as pigments there. These were brought by Allauddin Khilji in the early 1300s during his campaign against the Southern Hindu kingdoms and almost 170 years before the Mughals came into India.

Also, as I said earlier, the Mughals never made it to South India as their push Southwards was thwarted by the Maratthas.
