Jaipur- Art And Craft
Jaipur is among the richest city in Rajasthan as far as the fields of arts and crafts is concerned. Jaipur has created and preserved rich craft heritage which includes fabulous fabrics in lovely prints, precious and semi-precious stones, Kundan Meenakari Jewellery, embroidered leather work, other hand crafted items of wood, ivory, lac, glass, brass, silver and gold.
For women there were infinite variety - tie and dye fabrics, embroidered garments, enamel jewellery inlayed with precious and semi-precious stones, leather jootis. They put their lives indoors to very good use by decorating their surroundings - on the walls of their mud-huts were painted geometric designs as well as simple motifs like flowers and birds. Also the womenfolk made intricate patterns on floors, shaped straw and twine to turn into the most beautiful as well as functional items plus displayed great talent with the needle and thread and paper mache.
When the Rajputs came to dominate this region, it was a period of constant strife. They were almost always in battle with their neighboring kingdoms. When a kingdom fell and a new ruler took over, it was time for change paintings depicting the new ruler's victory; scenes from the battle and processions of the victorious march were faithfully reproduced on the walls and handmade paper. Other than the paintings, the new rulers also influenced the existing crafts of that area. Despite their love for the battlefield, the Rajputs have been patrons of art and also their 350 years of contact with the Mughals led to a very strong influence on their lives and arts. Quite a few folk arts received the refinement and delicacy of the Mughal courts. They borrowed freely from the Agra and Delhi courts and in some cases, also sent theirakilled craftsman to adorn the Mughal courts.
Some most common Art & Crafts of Jaipur are :
Bandhani Or Tie And Dye
Stone Carving & Sculpture
Zari, Gota, Kinari & Zardozi
Gems, Kundan, Meenakari & Jewellery
Jaipur Blue Pottery
Shellac Bric-a-Brac
Block-printing
Tarkashi
Silver Jewellery
Jaipur Miniature Paintings

Rajasthani Dances
Dance is an expression of human emotion as mush as music and it is found in almost limitless variations in Rajasthan. Simple unsophisticated, dancing is seen in their fairs and festivals in the kudakna of the Meena boys, the dancing which goes with the Rasiya songs of Braj, and the dancing by women and men where the women carry a pot or a lighted lamp on their head. In the Charkala dance of Braj, an elaborate lampstand replaces the single lamp.
The famous Ghoomar, Rajasthan's popular dance gets its name from ghoomna, the pirouetting which displays spectacular colors of the flowing ghagra, the long skirt of the Rajasthani women. Men have a range of their own more vigourous dances.
The Gair of Mewar have inner and outer circles of dancers who move diagonally or loop in and out. It is intricate and fascinating. The Gair of Jodhpur is performed in a single file and martial costumes are worn for effect. The Geendad of Shekhawati is similar. Sticks or swords are often used in male dances, and the Shekhawati dance has the daf accompanying it.
Free dancing full of zest, with rows of dancers waving colorful pennants, makes the Bam rasiya of the Braj region spectecular. It is performed at holi. The Kucchhi Ghodhi or Dummy Horse dance is performed on festive occasions.
The terahtali is a tantalising dance performed by women while sitting. The women have manjeeras( little brass discs) tied with long strings to their wrists, elbows, waists, arms and a pair in their hands as well. Their male accompanists sing and play the tandoora while the women, with sextrous and fine movements, create a strong rhythm with the manjeeras. Foe added effect they may hold a sword between their teeth or balance pots or lighted lamps on their heads.
The dance of the Kalbelia women is vigourous and graceful. An authentic fire dance is performed by the Jasnathis of Bikaner and Churu districts. The accompanying music rises in tempo as the dance progresses, ending with the performer dancing on brightly glowing embers-a breathtaking and deeply impressive sight.
