Indian artisans crafting rock sculptures in Sompura, Gujarat. The non sculptural village tradition of Gujarat's stone carving has a high degree of vibrancy and lively character caused by its spontaneous expression. This in turn has resulted into the development of local style influenced by prevailing folk traditions.
