Story Behind the Art:

Vankar Parbat: 'I have been fortunate to inherit our family legacy of weaving shawls--one of the rich crafts of Gujarat. My father taught me the art of weaving and later, with him, I developed new and more colorful works for our changing times. I'm from Bhuj, in Kutch district where at least 80-percent of Gujarat's handicrafts are based. In olden times, it was a way of life. When I was a boy, I saw these beautiful works of art and always wanted to do something in this field. Even when going through bad times, I would find joy in my beautiful shawls. I have lots of favorite shawls, but one of the best I have done is still with me. It took me almost two months to complete and I will forever treasure it.'
