Just 30 km south of Jodhpur, Luni is a small village nestling in the shadow of Fort Chanwa. The village of Luni is a hub of activity with artisans using centuries-old skills to fashion metal, clay or wood into intricate forms.

The village elders reflect on the changing times under shady trees, while the children run carefree around the narrow streets. The women, swaying in their brilliant Rajasthani colours go about their daily chores to give water and sustenance to the village.
