Rajasthani textiles come in a fascinating range of dyed and block-printed fabric which are further embellished by embroidery. Each region has its own special colour scheme, design and technique.

Hand-block printed textiles of the townships of Sanganer and Bagru near Jaipur have won the hearts of millions at home and abroad. You can check out some fabulous stuff at Soma Shop (Web Link). Jaipur's quilts are a hot favourite with most visitors.

Tie-and-dye textiles, called bandhej or bandhani are an important Rajasthani craft. Different methods are used to tie the fabric into small points and produce various patterns like lehariya, mothda, ekdali and shikari. The best bandhej comes from Sikar and Jodhpur, while Jaipur, Barmer, Pali, Udaipur and Nathdwara are the other centres.
