What is a Jaipuri razai?
A Jaipuri razai is a traditional quilt from Jaipur, Rajasthan. It is made from two layers of soft cotton fabric with a thin, even layer of carded cotton between them, held in place by lines of quilting stitches. The cotton is fluffed and spread so finely that the quilt stays light and folds small, yet traps enough air to keep the sleeper warm.
Most Jaipuri razais are reversible, with a different print on each side, and are printed by hand with carved wooden blocks. Small variations in the print are normal and are the mark of handwork, not a defect.
Cotton filling and cover fabrics
Cotton filling
Carded cotton, spread in a thin layer. A lighter fill suits air-conditioned rooms and mild weather; a fuller fill suits colder winters.
Cotton voile (mulmul)
A fine, light, very soft weave. It gives the classic featherlight razai that drapes closely.
Cotton cambric
A slightly denser, smoother weave that feels crisper, shows prints sharply and stands up well to regular use.
Other covers
Velvet and other fabrics are made on request for buyers who want a heavier winter quilt.
Hand block printing: Sanganer and Bagru styles
In hand block printing, a printer presses a carved wooden block dipped in colour onto the cloth, one impression at a time, with a separate block for each colour. Two neighbouring centres near Jaipur give the craft its two best-known styles.
Sanganer style
Fine, detailed floral motifs, sprigs and trailing vines, usually on a white or pale ground, with delicate outlines and bright colours.
Bagru style
Bolder geometric and floral motifs in earthy colours such as indigo, black, red and ochre, often using a mud-resist technique known as dabu.

Weight and warmth
A razai is much lighter than a blanket or a synthetic duvet of similar warmth. Cotton breathes, so it is comfortable across a wide range of temperatures and does not feel clammy. Warmth is controlled by the amount of cotton filling rather than by the cover fabric.

How to care for a Jaipuri razai
- Wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, by hand or on a delicate machine cycle, or dry clean
- Wash separately the first few times, as hand-printed colours can release a little excess dye
- Do not bleach, soak for long periods or wring hard
- Dry flat or on a line in the shade; strong direct sun can fade the print
- Shake and air the quilt occasionally to keep the cotton fluffed
- Store dry in a cotton bag rather than sealed plastic

Frequently asked questions
What is a Jaipuri razai?
A Jaipuri razai is a lightweight cotton quilt from Jaipur, Rajasthan. It has two layers of soft cotton fabric, usually hand block printed, with a thin layer of carded cotton quilted between them. It is valued for being warm yet light, breathable and easy to fold and store.

Retailers, boutiques and online sellers can order stock designs or private-label quilts. Send your sizes, quantities and destination on WhatsApp +91 88128 00000 or email info@garage2global.com for a quotation.
What size is a double Jaipuri razai?
A double Jaipuri razai is typically around 90 x 108 inches, roughly 225 x 270 cm, and a single is typically around 60 x 90 inches. These are common sizes rather than a fixed standard, and they vary between makers. For wholesale orders the finished size is agreed in advance and confirmed in the quotation.
Is a Jaipuri razai warm enough for winter?
Yes for mild and moderately cold winters, and for heated homes. The fine layer of carded cotton traps air, so the quilt is warmer than its weight suggests. For colder climates, order a fuller cotton fill or a velvet cover, or layer the razai over a blanket.
How do I wash a Jaipuri razai?
Wash a Jaipuri razai gently in cold water with a mild detergent, by hand or on a delicate machine cycle, or have it dry cleaned. Wash it separately the first few times because hand-printed colours can release some dye. Do not bleach or wring it, and dry it in the shade.
What is the difference between Sanganeri and Bagru block prints?
Both are hand block printing traditions from villages near Jaipur. Sanganeri prints are fine, detailed florals on a white or pale ground with bright colours. Bagru prints are bolder and earthier, using indigo, black, red and ochre, often with a mud-resist method called dabu. Either style can be used on a razai.
Can I order Jaipuri quilts with my own brand label?
Yes. Private-label orders can carry your woven or printed labels, care labels in your language, hang tags and retail packaging, and can use your own prints and colours. A sample is approved before bulk production. Quantities per design and lead time for private-label work are confirmed in the quotation.
