Visit when the fair begins, when the whole village comes live... so much of culture and so much of variety in everything in this village right from the handicrafts to food and don't miss the cultural shows...it is worth visiting. More

This is where you got the jackpot. Lot of times, hotel guys and other folks will rule this place out. But in our whole Udaipur trip, this was THE best place that we visited. I can't talk enough about it. And for Rs 200, i bought so many gifts for my friends in USA. It is impossible to find that... More

I highly recommend going to visit Shilpgram as part of the Responsible rural tour by Chandra Niwas. It provides a glimpse into rural village life in Rajasthan and you can watch pottery being made and buy art work directly from the village artists, and personally I would much rather support them than a touristy shop in the city centre. We... More

What you get from this place depends largely on when you visit. First time we came here it was virtually deserted - just a few handicraft shops and a small dance display. The repro village houses and the ethnic museum were interesting. Second time we visited (in early January) there was a huge craft fair, with some really attractive items... More

We spent a couple of hours here and I wish we had more. There were some lovely painters, weavers and potters. Reasonably priced though we did bargain a little and direct contact with the artists as opposed to merchants. There were also some folk musicians and dancers. We went there about an hour or more before closing time and I... More
