Jaisalmer is an interesting concoction of almost 75 semi nomadic tribes and folk artisans community, and the region has a confluence of the two major religions of the sub-continent, Islam and Hinduism. The impact of the confluence of two cultures is clearly visible in the Golden City Jaisalmer. The city is famous for textile and dances and significant traces of cultural confluence can be easily visible on these two. Religion has a significant impact on textile tradition.
