About The Book

Handicrafts art of Rajasthan is world famous. The arts and crafts here are diverse as well as useful and important. Its compelling patterns have not only astounded the world market but also have made its own identity This is quite natural to see that the foreign tourists have a special interest and attachment towards the handmade items of here which is a good source to earn foreign exchange.

In Rajasthan such a fine work, in which, there is a shine of the artistry of Rajasthan's handicraftsman and the fragrance of Rajasthan's magical soil. In The Handicrafts of Rajasthan, I have widely described the various art forms of Rajasthan such as engraving on sword and shield, Tarkashi, Theva art, artistic work on glass, engraving on thermocol and sandlewood, art of Bassi, wooden toys, bow arrow, dyeing and printing, blue pottery, sculptures of Molela, Phad painting and Usta art of Bikaner etc.

The art is an expression of the elation and joy of life. The art plays a very useful and important role in the development of the society. Imagination, with the help of various art forms, creates a new art pattern. The artist plays a very vital role in keeping the art alive. The artist is a precious work of the God. A talented artist is not a seeker of an institution or an art guru. He always shows the hunger for creation through his talent and art.

While underlining the traditional arts, I have felt that whatever be the medium and circumstances, the development of the art has not stopped but has been progressing with innovative experiments, making circumstances favourable. The courtyards of the houses, doors and walls become canvas for the people living in the lap of the nature. They express the lives of their surroundings through the various forms of art with the help of nature such as the traditional colours made from lime, mud, ocher, turmeric and using the plants and tree twigs as brushes.

There has been a glorious past of the handicraft artists of Rajasthan due to their rural background, an eye for beauty and skilled craftsmanship. Even if an artist is able to sell his wares on the road side, modern in his approach, it is because the roots of that art form lie in an old tradition. The rich heritage of handicrafts as available in Rajasthan makes one proud immediately.

This book is interesting and compileable and useful for the libraries and the educational institutions. I firmly believe that all and mystic trusty mines may also get benefited from this book. All the students appearing for various competitive examinations may also find the book serve their purpose of gaining knowledge.

Here on the one hand the enthusiasm of the battlefield and the heroic tales of the heroes overwhelm the public, while on the other hand the subtle emotional imitations of the folk psyche inspire the common man. The artists here are keeping the art alive only on the basis of their hard work and sincere practice. Despite facing the onslaught of modern technology, the art and culture here remains alive and intact even today due to its connection with the eternal truth. All the credit for keeping it alive goes to the artists whose creative creation Dharmita has given Rajasthan a unique identity not only in India but in the whole world.

Hereditary traditions have contributed significantly in keeping the craftsmanship alive in Rajasthan. From daily use items to rituals and entertainments, craftsmen are made here with great skill. Various types of attractive craft products are prepared through the creative expression of natural resources, social environment and skilled workmanship available in the state. The arts express the ecstasy and joy of life. The imaginations of the mind take shelter of various art forms and create new forms. Arts have been very important and useful for man. The artist has an important role in keeping the art alive. An artist is a precious creation of God. A talented artist is not attached to any institution or art guru. He manifests the hunger for creation from talent through art.

No matter what the medium, no matter what the circumstances? The development of art has never stopped, but has progressed with new experiments, adapting the country and the circumstances. For people living in the midst of nature, the courtyard, gate, wall of the house become the canvas. They express the life around them through various forms of nature, made from sticks of trees, plants, twigs and traditional home made colors like lime, clay, ocher, turmeric, while through their artistic talent.
