Sanganer, Jaipur

Sanganer is a town area on Jaipur's southern side, associated with textile printing, handmade paper and Jain heritage. Rajasthan Tourism describes it as a place known for block printing and handmade paper, alongside carved Jain temples. Craft workshops and visitor access vary, so Sanganer is best approached as a working craft community rather than a set of guaranteed demonstrations.

What to know

The area also offers a chance to see heritage sites in a different setting. Contact a workshop or institution in advance if you want a guided demonstration.

Good to Know

Workshops may be busy with production and may not accept walk-ins. Ask about photography, demonstrations and purchase terms before you arrive. Craft methods and designs differ between makers. If you are buying, ask who made the item and what printing or dyeing process was used.
