Jutti Making Experience with Mohan Lal & Chanda Gujar

Step behind the scenes of a centuries old craft tradition in Jodhpur with a hands-on journey into the art of handmade leather juttis. This experience takes you to the home of master artisans — descendants of a family that has been crafting juttis for over 300 years — and offers you a unique window into the entire process: from raw leather to stitched Mojari. Under their guidance, you’ll witness how royal-era footwear was once created for kings, nobles, and common folk alike. The workshop offers not only insight into the craftsmanship, but also a personal encounter with living traditions and heritage that persist even today. 

  • Learn from award winning master artisans whose craft spans generations and has been honoured at state and national levels. 
  • Enjoy a deeply personal, small group experience — ideal for curious travellers who value authenticity and meaningful interactions over mass produced souvenirs.
  • Gain insight into a traditional craft that combines utility, artistry and culture — a piece of Rajasthan’s heritage revived through your own hands.
  • Take home a handmade jutti (or a custom leather keychain) — a living memory of your time in Jodhpur and a token of heritage.
  • A rare opportunity to see the full craftsmanship process — from leather cutting to stitching and embroidery — in a family run setting that retains centuries of tradition.

Step into the home-studio of master artisans Mohan Lal and Chanda Gujar and witness the centuries-old craft of handmade leather juttis come alive. You’ll see the entire process, from selecting and cutting the leather to shaping, stitching, and adding intricate embroidery, all while learning the stories and traditions behind each step. Along the way, you can participate by creating a small leather souvenir to take home, enjoy informal conversations with the artisans about their family legacy and the evolution of juttis, and soak in the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a working artisan household where craft and daily life intersect. This is a rare chance to experience Rajasthan’s living heritage up close, blending hands-on learning, cultural storytelling, and personal connection.
