The co-owner Manish Abani was quick to sweet talk me into buying extra quantities of fake vintage kantha throws. These are quilts made from reclaimed Indian cotton dresses. He made false reassurances like "we are a big, reputable and long standing store with customers in all parts of the world, buy with confidence". Please DO NOT BUY from this store.... More

We loved this store and all the treasures it holds. Had a great time looking around and ended up buying a few things. Very nice people operating the shop with no pressure and lots of smiles. Would recommend for a browse or a bargain buy. Thanks for a nice couple of hours.

This shop was one of our highlight experiences in Jodhpur. Fixed prices that are very reasonable (10 to 20 Euros for beautiful silk shawls), so no stressful haggling. Shopkeepers are super friendly and put no buying pressure on you, and you get excellent chai tea for free. Very attentive without being annoying. Their business strategy is to be different from...

It has been some time since I was in Jodhpur and I must say a visit to this place is a MUST!! Mahesh and Manish remembered me and it was such a warm welcome I received. I made my way there having spotted their colourful sign on their rooftop to discover that there are more lovely items than I recollected;... More

I have been visiting Jodhpur for many years and a visit to Ganesh Handicrafts is always high on my list of things to do. Such a variety of beautiful items - fabrics, pashminas, bedcovers, tablecloths, cushion covers, jewellery, paintings and much much more. Mahesh and Manish extend a warm welcome and are extremely helpful but there is never any pressure... More

Patient and friendly staff. I was happy with my purchase and the staff seemed happy to recommend other shops when they couldn't help me with one item on my shopping list.

Nice friendly staff who are not pushy. We went there to check things out and they took their time showing us just about everything in the shop. We took lots of notes and told them we were off to Jaiselmer for three days but would come back after that. They weren't upset and when we returned they asked us how... More

I had a brilliant jacket made. As I looked around the shop I found a Jodphur jacket I liked a lot but did not fit me quite right. The owner talked this through with me and I decided i wanted to get one made for me from fabrics in the shop that were actually scarfs. He called in the tailor... More

My wife and I came across this shop by luck. We were captivated by a scarf displayed outside the shop and ventured inside. We were greeted by the proprietor Manish who was very attentive but not pushy. Of all the items carried in the shop, ranging from antiques, painting and textiles, we were particularly interested in a unique embroidered silk... More
