IIGJ Jaipur students explore Bikaner’s kundan-meena legacy on study tour
IIGJ Jaipur organised a three-day educational tour to Bikaner from 21st to 23rd November, giving students a close look at kundan-meena craftsmanship and the city’s cultural legacy.
The tour opened with a visit to a kundan-meena manufacturing unit where students observed core processes such as ghat making, jadai, and engraving. The next day included another factory visit focused on engraving and enamelling, followed by an interaction with artisans and jewellers and a walk through a unit producing exclusive jewellery pieces.
The final day was dedicated to heritage learning at Junagarh Fort, offering students a deeper sense of Bikaner’s history and architecture. The group returned to the IIGJ Jaipur campus late on 23 November. The tour offered practical exposure that strengthened classroom learning and broadened students’ understanding of traditional jewellery practices.
