Rogan-The Art of Hand Painting on Cloth
I am at Mohamad Jabber's home in Nirona, Kutch. He is the 8th generation of Rogan art practitioner, a dying art which has only 2 families left practicing it for their livelihood. Jabbar bhai's illustrious family history has several state award, national award recipients and an International Craft Designer award as well. And one of the first craftsmen to receive a Padmashri for the craft is Mohamad Abdulgafur Khatri, Jabbar bhai's cousin brother. 15 such awards and more accolades poring in with the History channel featuring the family and their art.
One of the many Newspaper articles featuring the family and their art.
