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.

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.
