Durry Weaver

The best part of the trip was the scenic drive from Jodhpur to Udaipur. I highly recommend this drive to all visitors to Rajasthan. The drive takes you through rustic villages, through beautiful mountains where there was an adivaasi settlement for a long time.

We stopped at a durry weaver's cottage near the famous Jain temple to buy a small hand-woven carpet for INR 600, though we had never planned to buy one nor even heard of a durry weaver before visiting that cottage. We didn't bother to haggle over the price quoted as it was genuine hardwork from a dying tradition in that state.
