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 !

Sardar market envelopes the landmark clock tower of Jodhpur. There are many shops which cater to tourist needs selling handicrafts made by local artisans. It's a good place to shop if one intends to support the local artisans and also get a good deal on the products. Bargaining is a must though.
