TOY & DOLLS

The makers of Jaipur make elephants and houses of studied cloth, decorated with tinsel and embroidered fabric. Another interesting buy is papier-mâché birds and animals. Clay toys and statuettes inspired by local legends are simple yet expressive. Udaipur is known for its wooden toys. Don’t forget to buy Rajasthani puppets which are eye-catching because of their exaggerated eyes and brightly colored dresses.
