    Amazing hidden gem near the palace for people looking for bedsheets and other home decor items. The owner is not just an hand artist, but also a writer with published books. Ask for LN Khatri in the shop for a decent price.

    Laxmi N. Khatri has chosen the best traditional fabric and embroidery to his shop. He is also a poet and a writer and has a deep knowledge of Jaisalmer and its culture and history. We bought a beautiful bed cover which Laxmi shipped to Italy in 3 days. Excellent product and service.

    Mr Khatri was very hospitable and friendly. They have very authentic products and if you are inquisitively curious about culture, you should certainly purchase his book about the culture of Jaisalmer! Thank you for offering water and great conversation!

    Historically and culturally rich experience is enlighted inside the shop. The owner L.K. Narayan is an amazing, humble and soft spoken guy. Loved the handicraft items displayed inside. Also, the owner himself is a writer who has written a book called Jaisalmer (Folklore, History and Architecture).

    Chayan, the owner son helped me purchase beautiful souvenir items like table runners, wall hangings, table tops, kantha stitched bed covers at a very very reasonable price. The shop has beautiful, cheaper than Fort souvenir shops, variety of items. Small yet a traditionally built shop....worth a visit. Find your way through from gopa chowk to this shop and carry little bit of jaisalmer with you.
