The striking range of Rajasthan's
handicraft is a glittering cinema of colors and textures. The deepness, variety
and motivating complexity of Rajasthan’s Handicrafts stems from its
socio-economic culture, with whole village following specific crafts, which are
essential to their endurance or daily needs. Royal support gave it a vital thrust
to carry the ride for centuries. Although Rajasthan is full of scenic beauty, possibly
the most everlasting influence that travelers take away with them after visiting
through this state is that of color. Despite the continuous torture of the sand
storm now and then hitting the state of Rajasthan, color reaches newer heights
of brilliance and brightness at every pocket of the state.

painting was converted in the escalating of styles unique to various regions of
the state developing the Kota-Bundi kalam, the Marwar school and the Bikaner
school of painting. Take a tour to Bundi to eyewitness a curious array of diminutive
