Kalamkari
#Gujarat is known for its exquisite embroidery but the lesser-known art of #Kalamkari is equally appealing and unique. Kalamkari refers to a method of painting natural dyes onto cotton or silk fabric with a bamboo pen or kalam. Kalamkari in #Gujarat differs from that done in the south. The central theme is stories of the Mataji and hence its name - Mata ni Pachedi. #Handicraft #art #Heritage #Tradition #GujaratTourism
