Rajasthani is a family of varieties: Marwari, Mewari, Dhundhari, Hadoti, Shekhawati and more. A poster that says “पधारो सा” or “दीवाळी री घणी-घणी शुभकामनावां” feels local and respectful. It is written in Devanagari, often with the letter ळ, as in दीवाळी and होळी.
Google’s Keyword Planner shows almost no searches for Rajasthani posters; most people search in Hindi. This page is for shops that want their poster to sound like their bazaar.
Marwari in Jodhpur, Bikaner, Barmer and Nagaur; Mewari in Udaipur and Chittorgarh; Dhundhari around Jaipur; Hadoti in Kota and Bundi; Shekhawati in Sikar, Jhunjhunu and Churu; and Marwari trading families in Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Assam.
“सा” after a word (पधारो सा, फोन करो सा) makes the poster polite and warm. Customers notice it.
Akha Teej is the wedding season. Jewellers, clothing, tent and sweet shops should post their offers a week before.
Marwari, Mewari and Shekhawati words differ. Tell Teena which one your customers speak, or write the words you use at the counter.
Marwari trading families outside Rajasthan read Rajasthani greetings with pride. Try one at Diwali even if your shop is in Kolkata or Hyderabad.
