Khadi Gramodyog Bhavan

Government-run Rajasthani textile shop with fixed prices and good-quality fabrics

The Khadi Gramodyog Bhavan is a government-run emporium selling handspun and handwoven Rajasthani textiles, including cotton, wool, and silk fabrics, as well as readymade kurtas, dupattas, and shawls. Prices are fixed (no bargaining), which some find a relief and others a disadvantage. The quality is reliable and the selection is broad, covering everything from everyday cotton to more elaborate block-printed pieces.

The fixed-price policy makes this a particularly good first stop if you want to understand what fair prices look like before negotiating in the private shops. It also sells the distinctive Rajasthani woollen blankets and saddle bags — practical items that hold up well and make good presents. The Jaisalmer branch stocks some items specific to the desert region, including camel-leather embossed goods and local embroidery styles.
