Indian Art Craft by the Family of Bhulabhai Chitara

The Chitara Family, their grandfather Bhulabhai Chitara brought the art of Mata Ni Pachedi to Ahmedabad and his four sons, Chandrakant, Kiran, Vikram and Vinodbhai carried on this tradition, with the same technique and style, to keep it alive over the years. The whole family will help create these intricate pieces, the fabric not only speaks of the gods but of the artisans as well, together they've won many handiwork appreciation awards, like the National Award in 2003.
