Traditional Mural Craft

Social Context
Amongst the Rabari and Meghwal communities from Kutch it is the women who carry out the craft, whereas amongst the Mutwa community it is men who do the mud-mirror work. The work adorning the walls of Rabaris reflects their love for embellishments and they have similar designs and motifs in their embroideries. The mirrors are believed to ward off evil and are therefore found as an integral part of their embroideries and their walls.
