Rajan Bhimji Vankar

Booth 34

In the arid terrain of the Kutch district on the India-Pakistan border, agricultural cultivation can be difficult, so craft is a way of life. Weaving is a popular trade in rural areas of the region, where traditional weaving dates back 600 years. Rajan Bhimji Vankar is a fourthgeneration weaver from the village of Sarli. Still in his early 20s, he is already recognized as a master of the craft.
