There will be one more advantage of this handicraft bazaar that the tourists will get opportunity to buy handicraft items direct from artisans throughout the year, which is yet possible during only seasonal fests in Jaipur. This will give the monetary benefits to both artisans and tourists, in addition to protect the tourists from the trap of commission agents.
