Kutch · Arid Northwest
Community embroidery, sold with the style and the maker's community identified
The LLDC craft museum on the same campus is the best single place to learn to tell the styles apart before buying any of them.
Weaving, ajrakh, bell making, lacquer, Kharad and Kala cotton textiles
Set up after the 2001 earthquake as a craft resource centre. Its craft documentation is the most reliable open reference on what is actually made where in Kutch.
Embroidery from member artisans, and a collection of old pieces held for reference
The reference collection is the point — embroiderers consult it for their own tradition's older work, which is a different function from a museum.
Embroidery and craft produced by member women across the district
A producer company owned by the artisans themselves rather than a buying house.
Natural-dye ajrakh printed on both faces
Go on a printing or washing day rather than a market day. Ask whether a piece is natural-dye or chemical — both are printed here and the price difference is large.
Rogan painting, copper-coated bells and lacquer turning
Three unrelated crafts within a few hundred metres, all still worked in the makers' own houses rather than in a showroom.
Woollen shawls, dhablas and stoles woven on pit looms
Buy at the loom rather than in the shops at the entrance to the village; the weavers are a few hundred metres further in.
Iron-red and white painted earthenware
Painted freehand with a cloth swab and a stick. Fragile to carry home, which is why so little of it leaves the district.
The dabeli, where it was invented
Still run by the family of Keshavji Gabha Chudasama, who made the first one.
Kutch की मशहूर दुकानें, बाज़ार और कारख़ाने, और हर एक किस चीज़ के लिए जाना जाता है। (9)
