The Rajasthanis are sturdy, cheerful and simple folks
relatively untouched by the fast pace of modern times - making Rajasthan
one of the safest destinations anywhere in the world.
Colorful & Ornamental
It is also one of the most colourful. To offset the
barren, colourless landscape and the monotony of its cloudless sky,
the people of Rajasthan show a distinct preference for bright costume
From the simple village folk or tribal to the rajas and
ranis, the preferred colours are bright red, dazzling yellow, lively
green or brilliant orange, highlighted by a lavish use of sparkling
gold and silver zari or gota.
Tribal and nomadic women are known for their love for
silver jewellery (although men too sport ear studs and earrings). The
ornaments follow age-old designs typical of a particular tribe.
