  • The Jangid Artisan Family of Rajasthan: Mahesh Jangid, Mohit Jangid & Rohit Jangid
    The Jangid family lives in the city of Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan, India and creates world-class sandalwood miniature carving. They have immense expertise and artistic sense gathered by generations of artists in the family. With the help of simplest tools, these artisans faithfully adhere to the traditional style while at the same time they try to experiment with new things. Their highly intricate designs are created by using a combination of carving methods, such as deep carving, shallow carving, latticework and fretwork on a nearly impossible miniature scale.
    Mahesh and his sons draw inspiration for their miniaturised wooden carvings from history, mythology and day-to-day life in India. Their work is accomplished with the most basic and often handmade tools applied with the meticulous care of a filigree artist. The most typical woods used for ornamental and inlay work in India are walnut (Juglans regia), rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia), ebony (Diospyros spp.), teak (Tectonia grandis), sal (Shorea robusta) and sandalwood (Santalum album). The Jangid family works almost exclusively in sandalwood, due to its malleable characteristics and delicate natural fragrance. Mahesh explains: “Sandalwood is the most conducive medium for our particular craft because it is softer than most types of wood and easier for us to work with.”
