Taarkashi-Jaipur
The craft is not a native of Rajasthan but brought from Uttar Pradesh therefore there are not many families practicing the craft. In Jaipur initially only four persons learnt this craft and then started practicing it in their vicinity. At present there are about four families and fifteen individuals practicing this craft in Jaipur. These families are well regarded and belong to Jangid community, who are supposed to deal with wood. The skills are transferred to the younger generation by the elders.
Having migrated from Uttar Pradesh the craft has no specific region of practicing. It was learned by four people who settled in different parts of Jaipur and started practicing the craft in their house. Today the craft is practiced in Vishwakarma Industrial Area, Gopalpura Bypass, Bani Park and Murlipura in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
