Crafting heritage: Jaipur handicraft brands taking Rajasthani art global
From textiles to décor, these Jaipur-based enterprises preserve Rajasthan’s artisan traditions while taking the Pink City’s craft legacy to global markets.
Jaipur has long captured the imagination of international tourists with its grand architecture—celebrating centuries of Indian royalty—bustling bazaars, and a craft tradition that weaves history into everyday life.
Rajasthan’s Pink City is a thriving heritage hub. Here, traditional artistry meets modern markets, with its crafts and textiles—from hand-carved wooden furniture to embroidered textiles and shimmering metalwork—finding admirers worldwide.
