Textiles:-

Handcrafted textiles fill bazaars of Rajasthan. Visitors can take their pick from the choicest offerings available in sophisticated boutiques or the shops that line the markets across the state of Rajasthan. .

Jewellery:-

Jaipur is one of the world's leading diamond and emerald cutting centres. The tradition of 'Minakari' and 'Kundan' work in gold reached an all time high in enamel jewellery centres like Bikaner, since Mughal times. From Pratapgarh comes the pretty 'Thewa' work, gold filigree work on glass which is seeing a revival. Ivory and Lac bangles, and silver tribal ornaments made in Rajasthan are stunning in their artistry.

Paintings:-

Mughal miniature painting is richly represented in Rajasthani art. The popularity of miniature painting was translated in the mushrooming of styles distinctive to various regions of the state creating the Kota-Bundi 'kalam', the Marwar School, the Jaipur School, the Bikaner School and the Kishangarh School of painting. From Nathdwara came the tradition of 'pichwais'. The 'pichwai' was a cloth hanging or backdrop to the deity Krishna, painted in bold colours. 'Phads' or scroll paintings relate the tales of the Bhopa folk hero Pabuji.

Pottery, Stone Craft and Leatherwork and so on Rajasthan offers a wide rang of handicraft so much to choose that one might get confused in thinking which one not to buy after all every thing is so attractive.
