Jajam from the Bundi district the one here is highly decorative with ornamental aesthetics. Breathing life into floral designs and hunting scenes, its motifs are inspired by the action-packed miniature paintings gracing the walls of the Hadoti region. We can notice a scattered distribution of the red color. Earlier it was saturated under the free-flowing stream of the Mej river. Dam construction across Mej river, dried up water sources rendering lower quality to the vibrant hues of not only Jajam but also other craft practices of Rajasthan.
