 The
state's biggest district and its most sparsely populated one is a sandy,
barren area over half of which is desert and marshland. Like so many
other regions of Gujarat, Kutch has its own distinctive character. It
has a remarkably heterogeneous population belonging to 18 different
tribes, each with its own language and culture.
The Kutch experience is not based on any
single element. You can derive pleasure from even the smallest things
such as the clothing and jewellery people wear. The things they make
with their own hands for daily use ranging from their clothing to
household utensils, their homes and their colourful customs etc.
The Bandhani (tie and dye) hand printed sarees, embroidery and exquisite
gold and silver ornaments are some of the traditional crafts of this
region. The language dialects of Kutch and their manner of people are
highly pleasing and musical to the ear.
