Traditional Rogan Art (ABDULGAFUR KHATRI) - Art museum in Bhuj, Nirona - Kachchh, India

It's a true honour to visit the place. To reinstate an art from near extinction to becoming a piece of pride and winning a Padma Shri award, it's truly remarkable

Nirona village in Kutch, Is a village of traditional craftsman and artisans. Govt of Gujarat has done much work in developing the skills of the local artisans and bringing Nirona village on the tourist circuit thus promoting trade and commercial activity. Abdul Gafur Khatri who has been honoured by Govt, has worked had to keep traditional Rogan Art of fabric painting. Around Nirona there are families carrying out traditional block printing, Copper work and Lacquered wood craft. The artisans are now prosperous except the wood work village which is still stuck in poverty. You have to give about half day to see and explore the artisan houses and workshops.

This is the art which is very unique and no one in India practices the same.

A great art revived over a period of time. Hats off to the efforts put in by the family in not only preseving the art, but propagating it for future generations by training more and more artists.

Traditional Rogan Art - the very unique art. Creating the master pieces of great artistic creativity. The unique art to be proud of. Superb.

Very unique and rare art. At first sight you will assume it to be embroidery but it's not. Khatri family has kept this art alive and also training girls from nearby village. It's must visit place. If you like antique.

It is the only place where Rogan Art is still practised. You would get to see excellent and fabulous paintings done by Abdul Gaffar.
