An arts & crafts tour of Rajasthan will make you fall in love with the rich handiwork of the Rajasthanis.
The former kings and nobles of Rajasthan provided the main patronage to the craftsmen of the state. Right from the elephants to the palaces to the mud huts, everything was decorated with the same details. This encouragement given at that time slowly and gradually contributed to the arts and crafts of Rajasthan in their present form. Even the clothes were given special attention. The clothes of the warriors were exquisitely designed and their armor was bejeweled and intricately carved. For the womenfolk, there was a wide variety, ranging from tie and dye fabrics, to enameled jewelry to embroidered jutis.
As the rulers kept on changing, more and more art forms were added. The artisans of the Rajput rulers were even encouraged to set up schools of their crafts. All this led to the Rajasthan arts crafts, as we know of them now.
