The Great Rann of Kutch
Go round the villages in Kutch and Banni

The state of Gujrat continuously succeeds the various handicrafts, despite today may be rare to touch with the authentic handicraft.
Kutch came from the word of “Kachbo” means “tortoise (turtle)”. There, the salt wetlands spread out called the “Great Rann of Kutch”. In the sever environment when the land is covered with water in the rainy season and the people live in here cultivate the handcrafts to decorate and to give an accent to the plain ordinary life.
In January 2001, the great earthquake attacked here in Gujarat and the traditional mud made houses called “Bhunga” were destroyed mostly. Today, the region became famous in the world because of the high level techniques of handicrafts, and the original works are created in various villages.
