Rajasthani

The app currently offers content in two languages - Rajasthani and Haryanvi.

A Thief Has Come is a Rajasthani proverb uttered when a girl is born.

Traditional Bengali sweets like sandesh, chandrapuli and pantua rub shoulders with sweets from around the Indian subcontinent like the Rajasthani ghevar and Sindhi roth, and European treats like rose-flavoured Portuguese cake, ginger cream and orange custard.

The exquisitely wrought figurine of the Rajasthani woman is one of many pieces he has commissioned from the family.
