Kutch: A Must-Visit Celebration of Culture, Craft, and Nature

If you haven't seen Kutch, you haven't seen much. This vibrant land, steeped in art, culture, and tradition, is also a sanctuary for migratory birds during winter. Thousands of flamingos arrive at Flamingo City, creating a rare spectacle of pink against the White Desert—a natural phenomenon that occurs just once a year.

The magic of Kutch truly comes alive during Rann Utsav, held from November 15, 2024, to March 15, 2025. Against the shimmering White Desert, this festival celebrates heritage and artistry, offering visitors an experience unlike any other.

Ajrakh Printing: Intricate hand-block printing using natural dyes for textiles like turbans, shawls, and sarees.

Bandhani: A skill-intensive tie-and-dye technique producing exquisite dots and patterns.

Rogan Painting: Unique castor-oil-based designs from Nirona, often featuring the “Tree of Life.”

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"

If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”.
