📄 Image slot — a narrow fort lane lined with textile and craft shopfronts.
The lanes inside the living fort hold a working bazaar alongside the tourist stock — resident families selling their own embroidery next to counters of the same keychains sold across Rajasthan.
What is what
- Worth seeking inside: resident-made embroidery and mirror-work, the sandstone-carving families’ small pieces, and the artwork sold from home workshops off the main lane.
- Tourist stock: mass-produced textiles and trinkets priced for one-visit customers — the same goods run cheaper in the old-city bazaars.
- The telling-apart: ask where the piece was made and who made it; resident makers answer with a workshop, resellers answer with a discount.
Strategy: browse inside for craft and conversation, buy commodities below the walls — the conservation question gives one more reason to favour the resident economy.
