“Visit Sanganer for a huge variety of paper and fabrics”, recommends Timmie Kumar, Founder of charitable animal welfare organisation – Help in Suffering. In the 16th Century, Raja Man Singh brought Kagzis or papermakers from central Asia to Sanganer, an ancient town that existed long before Jaipur. After many years, The Kagzis and their precious art to use three types of raw material {cotton rags, silk and banana trunk fibre} to produce paper has survived. Cotton-based paper is the most popular and newer paper manufacturers and modern techniques too have become common in the city now.
