Jaipur is famous for its Miniature Paintings. Throughout the city, you'll find artists working on a variety of materials from handmade paper and boards of wood to ivory and marble.
Most of the artists still use natural colors derived from insects, shells, minerals, vegetable matter as well as silver and gold. They use squirrel hair paint brushes (obviously they are very tiny). It can take a miniaturist several weeks to complete a painting.
These things are priceless. I want one.
