Lac Gulal Gota Making in Maniharo Ka Rasta Jaipur 

Gulal Gota is a special type of lac product that is made by the Manihars of Jaipur.
Similar to bangles made of lac, this is another product that brightens up the Holi experience in Jaipur.
Termed as one of the ‘dying arts,’ the tradition of making Gulal Gota came from people that migrated from Arab. These people were regular shepherd men who were called ‘Baddu.’
These people settled in Shahpura and Manoharpura and started developing and learning the usage of lac. Later, the then king of Amer summoned them to settle near their residing place.
When Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh built Jaipur, the artisans who made bangles (manihars) were deployed to work in Maniharo Ka Rasta. The Manihars that you can spot throughout this road have continued the legacy started by their forefathers.
