CONCLUSION
Kutch is rich in the form of culture and craft. It has
many different stories about its formation of evolution
over centuries. It is a place where many communities
stay together in harmony and all of them have their
own unique lifestyle. That lifestyle brought varieties of
craft in Kutch.
The richness of craft helps me look at things in a
different perspective. How people are still following the
culture and made that as their livelihood. The culture
is the most important thing for these communities,
which is disappearing in urban areas.
It was an overwhelming experience for me to visit the
place and witness the crafts (Mattikaam, embroidery,
Block printing, wood Kothar kaam carving) being
practiced. All these craft had the essence of
authenticity and ethnicity.
I am sharing one of my mesmerizing experience
which is difficult to explain in the form of words. The
experience is of spending a night in bhunga. It was the
night which I will not forget. It was dark and i switch
ON my mobile flashlight. The room was filled with the
reflection caused by the mirrors of mattikaam.
