Every other shop in Udaipur's confined old city offers handicrafts, paintings, garments (kurthis and other standard wear) or fashion jewelry. It's a buyers' paradise specifically for handicrafts, which are some of the best we've seen up until now in our traveling. The wood figurines and wood wall design were absolutely gorgeous! Any person desiring to embellish their house with a bit of conventional taste must absolutely make a stop in Udaipur. We found one of the most range around the Jagdish chowk location but this is likewise the most tourist-ridden place, so hard bargaining abilities are required. Madhu and I checked out lots of shops as we LOVE window-shopping, especially for house decor stuff. In the end, we got a few things as gifts for household and some jewelry for yours truly!

Here are 3 stores we really enjoyed surfing and which we would suggest to other shoppers in Udaipur.
Ashoka Arts
Run by the same management that runs Hotel Gangaur Palace, Ashoka Arts is a fantastic place to discover mini paintings. They have them framed or un-framed, on paper, silk or camel bone. They can be found in a variety of rate variety also so there's plenty to select from. All of the paintings are produced by local artistes. They have some wooden and metal handicrafts as well but not as much as the paintings, which they appear to specialize in. What we liked most about Ashoka Arts was the warm and friendly staff. We went to their store a number of times without buying anything but they were constantly patient and never ever aggressive. They likewise encouraged us not to ever go to a shop with an auto-driver or any person else who claimed to take us to the very best store, as the shop would increase costs to include commission to the individual who brought the consumer in. On the last day of our stay, we eventually bought a painting on camel bone from them. We haggled a bit and (we think) got a good deal for it!
Vinayak Arts & Crafts
We came across this shop rather unintentionally when we lost our method after the boat ride at the City Palace. Of all handicrafts store in Udaipur's old city, Vinayak's appears to have the most significant collection which too of great quality. We liked checking out their things. They didn't seem to have much of miniature paintings however a fair bit of wooden handicrafts, silver precious jewelry and home furnishings (bedspread, cushion covers). The store is handled by a number of young lads who were once again rather friendly and not overtly pushy. We loved a large wood camel with a male and female figurine atop it. They priced estimate Rs.8,000 for it however I'm sure if we had pressed hard enough, it might have been purchased for around Rs.5,000 and it would have been well-worth the cash. But we weren't sure if we actually wished to carry the huge thing around with us so we let it go. Someday when we established our own home, I wish to return to Vinayak's and purchase some stuff from there.
Gem Handicrafts
Ms. Prerana Kothari, owner of Gem Handicrafts, is one of the friendliest individuals we fulfilled in Udaipur. She has a continuous smile on her face and a fantastic attitude. She likewise enjoys to talk so we invested almost an hour in her store buying just a little silver pendant and getting my nose pierced. Her tiny shop is packed from ceiling to floor with a range of silver and metal jewelry. She has whatever from nose rings, earrings, bracelets, anklets, finger rings and pendants to even precious jewelry from Nepal. One can invest hours checking out this all. Because her store was on our method to the hotel, we passed it a number of times a day and always found it hectic with potential consumers. Prerana, herself, is really simple to do organization with and I felt ensured of finding great quality stuff from her. She has a 'Fixed Price' indication on her door and she suggests it- no bargaining here!
