Rajasthan's Fine Arts and Crafts: Collecting Treasures of Tradition

The hand-printed textiles, furniture, leatherwork, jewelry, paintings, pottery, and metal crafts produced in Rajasthan are highly renowned across the world and you must explore them on your Rajasthan tour. All forms of Rajasthani arts and crafts are characterized by the use of vibrant colors and extravagant, fantastical motifs. To claim that Rajasthani artists solely create decorative goods would be unfair. The adorned kitchenware, vibrant clothing, distinctive jewelry designs, and embroidered shoes that give the generally monotonous desert dunes a new life and cheery appearance illustrate that every household item in Rajasthan disproves this claim. Let us dive into the wide number of treasures you can collect on your Rajasthan luxury tour.

Blue Pottery- from Jaipur 

Only in the 17th century did blue pottery, a well-known Jaipur heritage, reach the pink city. With Turkish invasions in the 14th century, the superb Turko-Persian pottery-making technology reached East India and eventually flourished under Mughal patronage. The phrase "blue pottery" alludes to the widespread application of cobalt blue dye to give the products a distinctive color and make the perfect souvenir from your Jaipur tour package. The difference between blue pottery and conventional pottery is the lack of clay. The ingredients for the dough are water, borax, gum, Multani mitti (fuller's earth), quartz stone powder, powdered glass, and borax. Soda bicarbonate may also be included in the mixture. Chinese glazing technology is used to carefully glaze the finished object. 

Textile- everlasting quality

Rajasthani textiles are in high and steadily rising demand in the global market and are taken back home by every other tourist on a Rajasthan holiday package. The variety of kaleidoscopic hues employed to create these textiles is mind-boggling. To give these handmade textiles a distinctive appearance, block printing, a variety of design techniques, and brilliant colors are used.
