Tiny yet lively town in sun-drenched sands, Barmer is a miniature Rajasthan with all its colour, warmth and tradition. According to history, the 13th century founder of the district, Bahada Rao (popularly known as Bar Rao) gave the town its name - Barmer, i.e., the hill fort of Bar.

Although a barren land with harsh climate and rough terrain, Barmer is known for its rich crafts, dances and music. Once on the ancient camel trade route, the town is now the centre for woodcarving, pottery, carpets, intricate embroidery work, block printed fabrics and multi-hued traditional costumes. Every year in March, the desert town is at its colourful best during the exuberant Barmer festival.
