Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Jodhpur, the birthplace of the iconic jodhpurs, the riding breeches famously worn by Prince Pratap Singh, son of the Maharaja of Jodhpur, during his visit to England in 1897. Wander through the streets of the Old Blue City, where centuries-old textile traditions still thrive today.
Discover the artistry behind Jodhpur's renowned textiles by visiting the Rangrezz fabric dyers, the Bandhej tie-dye artisans, and the Chippa block printers. Each community safeguards a unique craft passed down through generations. Witness the intricate Bandhej technique firsthand, where grains, pulses, and even peanuts are meticulously tied into the fabric to create mesmerizing patterns before it's dyed multiple times. For an even deeper experience, take part in a hands-on workshop to try this ancient art for yourself.
Explore the extraordinary embroidery traditions of Jodhpur, from the regal aari-taari gold and silver threadwork, to sequin embroidery, and intricate silk thread stitching. Meet award-winning artisans and fashion designers who continue to innovate in these ancient crafts, and perhaps even commission your very own personalized pair of Jodhpurs to take home as a stylish memento of your visit.
