HistoryEdit

There is also a rich history associated to Shilpgram Museum Udaipur. Shilpgram always had this trend of displaying various art works. A large number of craftsmen used to come to the place in order to display their work. Hence, it is quiet inevitable that a museum in that place will display such items and will manage to attract the attention of a large number of tourists.The state Govt of Rajasthan established the Shilpgram to encourage the local artisans to display their works of art. This became a popular destination to the artists as well as the patrons of art and tourists for the wide variety of artifacts displayed.The fair was conceived in the mind with an idea to encourage the cottage industry of Rajasthan. Being a desert land, Rajasthan is deprived of grown agriculture and tourism has been the main source of its income. Keeping this money-making part aside, Rajasthan Government wants to make this rustic art famous on a global level. Through this fair, the local artists get a stage to show their creations not just in front of domestic but the international tourists as well.
