Mohanlal Verhomal was the legend of spices in JOdhpur city of Rajasthan. He was the pioneer of the spices. He was the first person to introduce and sell spices to the tourists coming from all over the world. His aim was to provide the best quality and best blends of spices to the foreign tourists. He made JOdhpur city (dry) popular for the spices with his mixing s and best quality spices and service. MV Spices is the old and original spices-seller of the city with great quality and service to the tourist. He and his spices are recommended by all the travel guide books.Unfortunately, Mr.Mohanlal Verhomal expired in 2004, leaving behind his family of seven daughters and his wife. Since they are women, but still they took step against the soceity to continue with the business in this men-dominating society of India.After his death, there are lots of duplicate shops around the market, they all have similar name, as they have-MV SPICES.All the other spices shops start their name with "M"-to confuse tourists. When you will visit the store you will find one of the daughter of Mr.Mohanlal Verhomal to explain you about the spices, teas and saffron. Meanwhile you can have a cup chai with them.More details you will find when you will visit the store.
Being in MV Spices was an exquisite perfumed experience with a group pf 25 Mexican people. Neelam knowledge about her products and every Indian spice was remarkable, and the warmth and kindness of her staff was a memorable experience. A true host in her magical paradise... Now in Mexico, every day I spice up my dishes with pepper, Garam Masala, Curries and our favorite, Chai Masala Mix that is one of the most delicious and freshest I have tasted in my life. A "MUST" if you go to Jodhpur! My gratitude beautiful Neelam for adding so much flavor to my cooking through your spices!! A true pleasure meeting you and your mother! Mafalda

We met and chatted to Yug on many occasions both in our hotel and his studio. He is very welcoming and has plenty of time for you. At no time did my wife and I feel pressured in anyway to buy anything. The quality of his artwork sells its self. We bought post cards and a silk painting which are now framed and have pride of place. Many thanks Yug and see you next time.

My wife Mary Lou, friend Bruce and I visited Namaste when we were in Udaipur. This was in 2016, not Sept. 2019 - the options for "when did you go" only go back to that date. We had seen the great reviews of Namaste on TA so we visited the shop and had a variety of items made, including a 3 piece, silk/wool suit for me. Everything fit perfectly and the suit was beautiful. Recently I ordered another suit from Sanjay at Namaste to have shipped to Canada. I knew he still had my measurements so I was confident it would fit well. I was a little worried about how i would pay for it . And having it shipped to Canada. As it turned out the process was easy.. The suit arrived quite quickly and in good condition. It is beautiful and as expected, fits like a glove. And the fabric and style are excellent. So if you have visited Namaste and Sanjay has your measurements, don't hesitate to order a suit and have it shipped. Even if you haven't visited Namaste, the website provides clear instructions on how to measure yourself. No guarantees but i suspect you would not be disappointed. I need a new winter coat and will be ordering one from Namaste this fall.

My wife and I took a miniature art painting class with Ali and we absolutely loved the experience! It definitely falls in our top 3 experiences from our entire Rajasthan trip. We both are beginner level drawers and painters, but Ali was very supportive and patient with our inexperience. He taught us techniques in drawing and painting and allowed us to do the entire work, only stepping in when he suspected us hitting a road block. He was great in offering suggestions on color schemes and what designs to utilize to garner an art piece we would appreciate. I spent 4 hours because I took my time but typically, Ali says it takes around 3 hours. For 200 rupees per hour per person, we ended up going back the next day because we were so happy with our art that we wanted another creation. Obviously it's not the same level of work that you can find at the shops, but we felt it was more cost effective creating our own piece to take home to display!
