Timeless Trinkets: The Bangle-Making Experience at Juna Mahal

Discover the timeless charm of Rajasthan’s traditional craftsmanship with the bangle-making experience at Juna Mahal. Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Ranthambore, this unique activity offers guests a chance to witness the intricate artistry of lac bangle creation—a centuries-old tradition that beautifully encapsulates the rich cultural heritage of India.

Lac bangles, crafted from a natural resin secreted by the Kerria lacca insect, hold a significant place in Indian culture. Their vibrant colours, intricate designs, and deep symbolism have made them a cherished accessory for women, particularly during festivals and weddings. The craft has its roots in Rajasthan, where artisans perfected the delicate art of shaping lac into elegant bangles, often adorned with beads and stones. Once patronised by the royal courts of Amer and Jaipur, these bangles remain a symbol of tradition and artistry.

At Juna Mahal, we strive to preserve this heritage by providing guests with an immersive experience. Under the guidance of skilled local artisans, guests can personalise their own bangles, choosing from an array of colours and designs. While the process unfolds, you’ll marvel at the precision and dedication that goes into creating each piece—a true testament to the artisans’ craftsmanship.

Set against the backdrop of Juna Mahal’s luxurious villas and tranquil poolside, this experience offers the perfect blend of culture and comfort. Whether you’re staying in our pool villa, terrace villa, or garden villa, the bangle-making activity adds a memorable touch to your staycation in Ranthambore. The serene setting of the pool garden or balcony near the pool enhances the charm of this activity, allowing guests to soak in the tranquil ambience while witnessing the artistry unfold.
