Art & Crafts of Rajashthan
Block Print
Block printing is a technique for printing text, images, or patterns on textiles and later paper. Each image is created by carving a wooden block to leave only some areas and lines at the original level. Block printing is capable of yielding highly artistic results, some of which are unobtainable by any other method.

Handwork
There are many types of embroidery, tie-dye, ajrakh, shibori, applique work that are included in the hand-work clusters of Rajasthan. It is amazing to note that the women of remote villages, unexposed to modern civilization, are the experts in preparing articles of great aesthetic value. Hand embroidery is an expensive & time-consuming method. However, inspite of this it is preferred because of the intricacy of the handwork involved.
