Description

Travel Shopping Colorful Tapestry 4 India Rajasthan.
This image is part of a series in my gallery Design Series / Decor Series Tapestries, Tapestrys. These images can be bought indiviaually as well. This is a detail from a bright colourful cheery tapestry made by skilled craftsmen in Rajasthan. I was thrilled to buy a few such pretty colourful embroidered wall-hangings to adorn the walls of my home. They are great for interior design and home decor, office decaor, cafe art, hotel lobby art, corporate art and other such wall art uses, being colourful, asymmetrical, contemporary and random in design. More of such exquisitely embroidered textiles can be found for sale in the bustling Bapu Bazaar market in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Rajasthan the colorful and unique state of India is one of the fantastic destinations that attract tourists from all over the world. And of course shopping here is a great activity enjoyed by every traveler in Rajasthan. The various cities here offer something for everyone, be it jewellery, pottery, leather items, paintings, textiles, stone items, wooden furniture and many more beautiful things with magnificent artistry & workmanship. These are simply irresistible. Rajasthan is truly a shopper’s paradise that has been able to preserve its cultural and traditional art & craft forms which are unique and cannot really be found in any other place in India and other parts of world. Be it in the rural villages or urban city of this Indian state, all have something unique and exclusive on display for its shoppers.
Some of the main cities of Rajasthan for shopping include Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Pushkar, Kota, Shekhawati and Barmer.
Shopping in Jaipur can be rewarding & lucrative if you are looking for something which has a rural flavour. Almost everything is available in Jaipur, right from jewellery to clothes to footwear. Some of the popular items of Jaipur are jewellery, gems and semi-precious stones, kundan work (setting precious stones in gold), minakari work (enamel work on gold), lacquered bangles, sanganeri prints, hand block-printed textiles, tie-dyed fabrics, traditional miniature paintings, kota doria saris, blue pottery, enamelware, brassware, woollen carpets and leather footwear (especially embroidered juttis). Rajasthali, Johari Bazaar, MI Road, Nehru Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar and Chaupar Stalls are some of the famous marketplaces in Jaipur. Do remember that most shopping places in Jaipur remain closed on Sundays.
Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Rajasthan in Northern India. It was founded on 18 November 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, after whom the city is named. The city today has a population of 3.1 million. Jaipur is known as the Pink City of India. You can see why ... the color of the walls in the above picture, for example. Many houses, public buildings and walls are painted soft shades of pink, just like this wall. It is done by mixing a pink pigment while whitewashing the walls.
