Handmade in Gujarat: A Journey Through the Cultural Heritage of Kutch

The ‘Handmade in Gujarat’ travel series is an appreciation of what the hands can do, paying our respect and gratitude to everything rooted in nature and the human connection. Part one will take place in Ahmedabad while part two will happen in Kutch - both are cultural hotspots to experience the best of Gujarat. Gujarat is the land of textiles and a big melting point of cultures. Through this journey, we will explore the handmade traditions of Gujarat with a focus on Kutch.

We will understand the cultural artforms from the Khatri community, who are master artisans of Ajrakh; see the exquisite work behind Roghun art, unique Kutchi pottery, and the weaving village of Bhujodi. We will also visit the historic Vijayvillas palace in Mandvi, experience the ancient civilisation at Dholavira, and the white desert of Rann of Kutch. This unique journey is designed for a small, intimate group of cultural enthusiasts who will have the opportunity to explore the rural, and craft spaces focusing on the cultural heritage of Kutch.
