Even in the past centuries in Rajasthan several ateliers were created where artists were treated with due respect and paintings, jewelry and pottery, stone and wood carving, textile and rug weaving, was accorded due place. That this was a serious activity was evident when the founder of the city of Jaipur, Sawai Jai Singh invited artisans from all over the country to come and settle in his new capital. Incentives were given and special areas were designated for their places of work and residence. As a result, Jaipur today is referred to as the crafts capital of the country and the city’s life seems to derive from the industry of gems and jewellery and large number of industries that deal in the arts and crafts.
