Kutch
Kutch literally means something which
intermittently becomes wet and dry; a large part of this district is known as Rann
of Kutch which is shallow wetland which submerges in water during the
rainy season and becomes dry during other seasons. The
Rann is famous for its marshy salt flats which become snow white
after the shallow water dries up each season before the monsoon rains.

A plethora of varied hues, profusion of
design, superfluity of culture, cornucopia of music and dance, all together in
the arid lands of Kutch creates a mosaic of exquisiteness which reflects the
identity and spirit of the region. Kutch, one of the most ecologically and
ethnically diverse district of the state is a celebratory land of art, crafts,
music, dance, people and nature.
Folk songs & Dance
This festival provides an exclusive opportunity to witness the creative ingenuity of the artisans and craftspeople, assorted array of folk music and performances, mixed representation of culture and communities, along with a vast diversity in ecology. All this and much more describe and define Kutch and the people.
