HAVE YOU EVER wondered what goes behind creating those wooden blocks that print patterns on your clothes? Have you ever traced back the origins of meenakari jewellery beyond glitzy urban boutiques?

For company, I had experiences curator Kartik Gaggar, whose organisation, Rajasthan Studio, is bridging the gap between the state's master craftspersons and travellers by offering the latter a host of art experiences. This not only boosts visibility for the artisans but also acts as an additional source of income for them, besides adding another novel tour option to Rajasthan's already impressive repertoire.
