Picchavi Paintings
The most popular commodity from this region is the Picchavi style of paintings. This unusual painting style is indigenous to Rajasthan and is mostly used to illustrate cloth surfaces such as cotton and silk in addition to paper and ivory surfaces. In olden times, Picchavi artists used this art form to represent the life of Nathji, who is a manifestation of Lord Krishna. Each season and time of day have its rules for decorating the image, and artists had to commit the various rituals of the temples to their memory before they could paint it down. These paintings make beautiful souvenirs and should be first on your shopping list!
