The bright, woollen blankets of Rajasthan have, in recent years, been contemporarised as shawls, most of them intended to feed the requirements of the urban markets.

The ancient civilization of Rajasthan has also evolved rustic terracotta as offerings for various local gods. The terracotta images and plaques of Molela, near Udaipur, have gained recognition in big towns and even abroad. This beautiful craft has survived down the years because of the religious sentiments of the tribals and the rural population. People from as far as Jaipur come to Molela to seek the image of their deity. The journey to Molela, to pick up the idol, consecrate it and take it back for an installation ceremony is an elaborate ritual, guided by the subconscious mind of human sociology. These terracotta plaques are in great demand from local buyers in the month of January.

Ahore in Jalore district, produces beautiful terracotta horses as religious offerings. These range from two to almost six feet in height, and April is the time when they are made in large numbers.

Colourful terracotta toys are a fast disappearing commodity, found mostly at the local fairs and haats. Bu is one such small village near Mundwa in Nagaur district whose terracotta toys and utensils are popular in the big and small fairs of Marwar. The toys use three techniques - the wheel, the mould and the hand - a tradition that dates back to the Harappan and Kalibangan civilisation. Toy figures of the tiger, bird, deer, horse, camel, rabbit, and idols are popular in fairs around Merta as well as in Balotra (Barmer) and Sathin (Jodhpur).
