Welcome!

to Basecamp Sunder Rang - Handicraft from Chandelao.

Just outside the Garh of Chandelao village you will find a building hosting our Arts and Craft project; Basecamp Sunder Rang. Here we work with the women of Chandelao in making traditional Rajasthani handicraft.

Rajasthan is a region famous for its diversity and richness in arts and craft, for example embroidery, pottery, block printing and weaving. The crafts persons are in competition by modern and industrially produced products and the designs do not in many cases live up to what the market requires. Therefore many artisans can’t live on their profession and stop practicing the traditional crafts. In some cases the knowledge is about to disappear.

Our aim is to maintain and support the local craft skills and develop high quality products with unique Rajasthani designs. And create a sustainable source of income for especially the women in Chandelao village.

Sunder Rang means beautiful colours and to us that name symbolizes the colourful clothes of the women and the bright turbans of the men but also the richness in culture, crafts, nature and hospitality you find in Rajasthan.
