The aim of this event is to highlight India’s own fabric of Khadi and popularize it at an international level. The Rajasthan Heritage Week is not only a medium to educate the youth about the importance of Khadi but also to make it a fashion statement. The festival is organized in a joint effort of Rajasthan Government with Prasad Bidapa Associates.

The festival was commissioned by Vasundhara Raje Government in 2015 to promote the Rajasthani textiles and to popularize the locally prepared Khadi and Kota Doria amongst the designers at a national as well as international level.
