There are many unique styles and designs that tend to vary with regions. The jewellery from Rajasthan can be elegant and ornate, mostly worn by the Rajputs and royalty as well as simple and chunky worn in the tribal communities. Rajasthani men also often wear ornamentation like chokers and earrings. Thanks to the extensive mining of the Aravali range in Rajasthan, the state happens to be a noted export centre for semi-precious stones. Meenakari (the art of enamelling on gold and silver) and Kundan (the art of setting semi-precious stones in gold) are native to the state. Lac bangles from Rajasthan are also very famous.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rajasthani_Textiles\"><\/span><strong><a class=\"highslide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bandhini-Fabric-from-Rajasthan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-965\" title=\"Bandhini Fabric from Rajasthan\" src=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bandhini-Fabric-from-Rajasthan-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bandhini-Fabric-from-Rajasthan-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bandhini-Fabric-from-Rajasthan-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Bandhini-Fabric-from-Rajasthan-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Rajasthani Textiles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rajasthani fabrics are vibrant and attractive. Tie and die or Bandhini involves tying up or knotting sections of a length cloth and dunking them into rich colours; usually yellow, green, red and black. The Laheriya, another technique is also achieved through a variation of the same concept. The ancient, laborious and meticulous tradition of printing with finely carved wooden blocks still survives in Rajasthan. Villages in southwest Rajasthan are very adept at needlework. Most of their attire has heavy embroidery. They also use mirrors and techniques like appliqu\u00e9 for variation. Khari, the art of printing in gold on fabric is also seen commonly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rajasthani_Leatherwear\"><\/span><strong><a class=\"highslide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Jootis-or-Mojdis-from-Jodhpur-Rajasthan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-968 size-thumbnail\" title=\"Jootis or Mojdis from Jodhpur, Rajasthan\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Jootis-or-Mojdis-from-Jodhpur-Rajasthan-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Rajasthani Leatherwear\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Jootis-or-Mojdis-from-Jodhpur-Rajasthan-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Jootis-or-Mojdis-from-Jodhpur-Rajasthan-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Jootis-or-Mojdis-from-Jodhpur-Rajasthan-115x115.jpg 115w, https:\/\/manahotels.in\/traveller\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Jootis-or-Mojdis-from-Jodhpur-Rajasthan.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Rajasthani Leatherwear<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rajasthan has a long history in leather craft and industry and leather shoes known as Jootis or Mojdis are made in Jaipur and Jodhpur.
