Learn the traditional art form of mata ni pachedi, where paintings are dedicated to a mother goddess (the phrase literally translates to 'behind the mother goddess'). It dates back over 300 years and is a style that's typical to Gujarat. The paintings are rendered on cloth, which symbolises a temple to the deity. The reason, legend has it, is that this art form originated after a nomadic community were barred from entering temples, and thus used the cloth as a substitute place of worship. Try your hand at the ancient form."
