Udaipur Jaipur Ajmer, the trip , was a spiritually enriching one. With the world famous Sufi saint shrine at Ajmer , blessings, the shrine has thousands of visitors daily and is the most visited shrine by people of all religions in the world. Wherever I go the sighting of Elephant brings me immense happiness, elephants are symbols of Goodluck. And with my Best friend Spirit Guide Airavaat always supporting me, the White Airavaat sculpture in our hotel was a beautiful welcome to remind his presence.

Looking So Real at City palace! |
Traditionally rich with heritage, culture, dresses and food, do take a guide along to understand better the history of these Amazingly beautiful places in Jaipur and Udaipur.
One of the most one of a kind experience was Saheli ki Bari with its natural fountains that were all year round showering with rain! The beautiful walk in Gulab baug with nostalgic sentimental old hindi songs, and the joy train Awesum!

Been there did that! dress up with the traditional wear of Rajasthan and click! and eat the traditional food, try at home made and small bhojanalayas to get the real taste of the original Dal baati Churma!
It was a WOW! with so many antique pots, so so similar to my paintings! the paintings always come before, visualizations, dreams that are presented in my life later on.
Saw the famous block printing technique, so many wooden blocks, so simple , yet so beautiful and the colour does not bleed! It is so nice to see how the traditional dyeing and printing technique has been kept alive with this city , maintaining the culture and folk art of Rajasthan.

Cloth, material, silk is taken and dyed with natural colours. Bright oranges, yellows and florescent pinks, vibrant reds. The blocks used are made from wood and carved with images. there are floral motifs, animals, birds and texts. The artists paint the fabric with hand using these wooden blocks. each piece of cloth has its unique design, as it is upon the artist to express their creativity.

Gemstones and Coloured rocks , pearl moti necklace sets, are so Awesum, you will definitely add up to your jewellery collection!
