Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal is a significant cultural establishment in the city of Udaipur that aims at retaining and propagating the folk art, music, dance, and customs
of Rajasthan. It was founded in 1952 by Devi Lal Samar, a popular folklorist and cultural scholar, with the objective of safeguarding India’s vast folk heritage.
A museum is part of the complex in which traditional costumes, puppets, masks, musical instruments, and folk paintings are displayed. It literally gets the most
attention for the daily folk dance and puppet performances which draw people from every nook and corner of the world. One of the reasons for tourists to visit
Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal is to have a taste of real Rajasthani culture, to learn about local traditions, and to witness the breathtaking performances that enliven the
very essence of Rajasthan.
