ABOUT THIS BOOK

Rajasthan’s rich culture has always captivated people from far and wide. In recent years several books have come on Rajasthan as well as on silver jewellery of India as a whole, but there were none exclusively on the living legacy of the traditional silver jewellery, as people sport it in Rajasthan. This book fills the void. With colourful pictures, it attempts to give a feel of the warmth and vibrancy of the desert state’s vivid silver jewellery.
