The Rajput chieftains saw themselves as patrons of art and sculpture and encouraged artisans to set up schools for the training and propagation of craft skills. Rajasthan is one of the few states in the country where almost every town has an artisan quarter specializing in particular crafts. With the disappearance of aristocratic patronage, progressive government policies and NGO activism have worked to prevent the demise of Rajasthan's rich handicraft traditions.
Rajasthan Music Tour,Rich Rajasthan Culture,India Cultural Tour
Rajasthani folk music - rich baritones that waft across desert expanses unaided by microphones, to the accompaniment of simple stringed and percussion instruments - has acquired an international following. Musicians are of all ages, dressed in colourful traditional attire, the men universally sporting impressive moustaches. Whole communities of rural-based musicians were once supported by princes and merchants. The themes recall great wars and valiant heroes, the agony of the lovelorn, as well as the colours and beauty of the desert, and the interdependence of humans, animals and trees. Today, progressive government policies regularly bring these music troupes out of their villages to perform in entertainment venues in cities.
