Each pair of juti represents both functionality and a value of tradition; its design molded the rugged terrains of Rajasthan. The original stitching and the leatherwork display the effort that goes into handcrafting these shoes. By continuing this craft of tradition, the Gawaria tribe does not keep its legacy alive alone but considerably becomes an integral part of India's rich heritage. The tradition of juti making thus stands as a testimony to the skilled artisanship that has long thrived in Rajasthan.
