Rann of Kutch salt desert in Gujarat: aerial flight over desolate salt pans. A desert by definition, for those who value the beauty of culture, Rann of Kutch is a vast ocean of cultural beauty. With a glorious past captured in its traditions, this is a culture that not only preserves its essence but also celebrates it. Each village has its unique craft that has been mastered over centuries by the talented and uniquely artistic people of Kutch. Machine-made works of art pale in comparison to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Kutchi women who work with meticulous detail and astonishing accuracy. The variety of crafts ranging from weaving, patchwork, block printing, bandhani, tie-and-dye, Rogan-art and other ethnic styles of embroidery, to pottery, wood-carving, metal-crafts and shell-work.
