For anyone interested in fashion, Rajasthan is a breathtaking place to visit. It has a deeply ingrained design culture of textiles and artisanal printing techniques.

The vibrancy of colour in Rajasthan is like nowhere else in the world. The major cities are also named by a colour, Jaipur is called the pink city and Jodhpur is the blue city. Even the women at the local markets coordinate their outfits to match their produce baskets. It's such an immersive and sensory overload.
