Five Offbeat Places One Should not miss in Jaipur:-
1.Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing
Anokhi Museum is rightly named. In Hindi Anokhi means different from others and yes it is different from others as this museum is situated in an old Haveli as well as this Museum is totally dedicated to Textile and Block priniting exhibits. A museum dedicated to clothes and prints on clothes sounds like 80's shoppping mall.
This is introduction from the main website :-
In the Amber Fort’s shadow and a mere ten minute walk through the cobbled streets of Amber, the historic capital of Rajasthan, lies the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing (AMHP). Located in a magnificently restored haveli or mansion, the museum displays a varied selection of block printed textiles alongside images, tools and related objects – all chosen to provide an in-depth look into the complexity of this ancient tradition.
