Location:

Barmer, a barren land with harsh climate and rough terrain, is known for its rich crafts, dances and music. Once on the ancient camel trade route, the town is now the centre for wood carving, pottery, carpets, intricate embroidery work, block printed fabrics and multi colored traditional costumes. Most famous are the geometric Ajrak prints in dark shades of red and blue, ideal for protection against the Sun.

Description:

The name Barmer, i.e. the 'hill town of Bar', was given to this city by its founder Bahada Rao (popularly known as Bar Rao) in the 13th century. Earlier known as Mullani, the present district was formed in 1949 upon the merger of Jodhpur state in the state of Rajasthan.
Barmer is a cluster of ancient paraganas of Mullani, Shiv, Pachpadra, Siwana and the Chohatan area. The route to Barmer is most interesting as one can go through small villages of mud houses, with folk motifs on their walls and people attired in vibrant colourful dresses.
