We drove out to this small village and met the owners and had a wonderful 2 hours drinking tea, talking about village life and finally ordering a durry!. We received photos of our durry on the loom and it was professionally mailed to us in Delhi and now it is in our dining room. What a cool experience to have a hand made rug with this kind of back story!! Do yourself a favor and make the drive!!

We - self and my Wife, visited Jodhpur from 12 to 16 November 2019. On 13 November, we went to see rural Jodhpur, driven by our trusted Guide and Driver Manish Bishnoi mobile number +91 9929907507. We were taken to village artisans to see and gain first hand knowledge of their work and lives. Budhraj Durry Udhyog was the first one to be visited. Budhraj is the owner who runs his industry with a loom from his Dhani i.e his house. Budhraj explained to us the nitty gritty of Durry Weaving. He worked on his loom and proved to us how it is an art as well as a craft. He also explained to us how two persons work on a loom and how warp and weft (ताना बाना) help in making different patterns and weaving structure of a durry. It was indeed very impressive to see different colours and patterns appearing on a durry in the process of its weaving. After he finished showing us actual weaving, he took us to his treasure trove of durries having different hues and patterns. These durries are made with different threads like that of cotton, silk, wool and hair of camels and goats etc. After that, he was kind enough to take us around his Dhani. It was a different experience altogether. You can not imagine the grace of Durry Weaving and staying in a Dhani without a visit. I dare say that visit to Jodhpur is incomplete without visiting Budhraj Durry Udhyog and his Dhani. His mobile number is +91 8560831907. We wish him all the best for the success of his Udhyog....

What a nice moment we spent with the “lentil guy”, a well known miniature painting teacher in Jodhpur. He’s passionate and wants to offer his knowledge to most of people he meet so typical Indian art will follow future generations. He guided us for a 4h course (slow learners, it can be 2h). And it’s a FREE course. He also have a huge collection of his students’ miniatures. So if you’re interested, it’s the city to try, and this place to go !
