Why is Rajasthan famous for furniture?

Rajasthan is famous for furniture for a few reasons. For one thing, its location near teak and sheesham forests has long provided fine materials for skilled artisans to use to craft furnishings. The artisans themselves are another reason for the state's success in the furniture-making industry. Furniture makers have been passing down traditional crafting techniques to apprentices working in the state for five centuries, continuing the legacy of fine furniture making. Also, history has played an important role in the development of the Rajasthani furniture industry. The state royal palace frequently commissioned new works, supporting the local artisans.
