Kutch Painted Terracotta Clay Craft Rakhi & Lumba Festive Hamper

Celebrate the bond of love with Kutch Painted Pottery Traditional terracotta craft rakhis

Kutch Painted Pottery : This age-old craft dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization, with only a handful of families practicing today as most others have moved to other day-jobs. The entire process has been the same that was practiced ages ago - and all the materials used are completely organic and locally found! They collect mud from a nearby lake and make their own clay. The clay is given shape using hands or a potters wheel, and left to dry. The dried ware is then decorated with clay based colors (from locally found stones/clay which is ground into fine powder and made into paste) using locally made bamboo brushes and tools. Once dried, the ware is fired.

The Rakhis are shipped packed in a jute pouch, with mini chocolates, 1 unbaked clay deep with kapoor-ghee batti, roli+chawal teeka, and 1 hand painted "Happy Rakhi" card that goes with your personalized message!
