Rajasthani wall hangings have been made by the weavers of Rajasthan for many centuries. The Rajasthani craftsmen are skilled to make these wall hangings. Like every region has some own special feature, similarly, Rajasthani wall hangings too have some distinct qualities of their own. Most of them are very intricately designed with lots of beads, mirrors, stitches and patchworks. Rajasthani wall hangings are made of very vibrant and rich colors. Their enthusiasm and love for vivacity in life is clearly reflected in their choice of colors. Some of the most common decorative styles are appliqué, tie- and dye, aari-zari work, embroidery, thread work and embossing. The common motifs are geometric, floral, animal, abstract designs, religious figures, contemporary ideas and many others. The traditional designs coupled with lots of zari work and mirrors make them very attractive and one-of-a kind. Nowadays, even cotton and silk Rajasthani wall hangings are also available which are very beautiful. Some of them are even woven with gold or silver threads.
