In India, every region has its own art and culture. In Kutch, the local tribes are known for their handmade Kutchi art.

They’ve lived across the dry regions between India and Pakistan; after Partition, many settled on both sides based on where life worked for them.

What stood out to me — their art isn’t just for display. It’s part of daily life. You see it in their home decor, their clothes… it’s still very much alive.

No extra process , just simple 2 step exposures down, +1 colors.

Stayed with a local family in Kutch.

I usually avoid hotels if I can find a local stay — feels more real.

This time, locals opened their doors. Stayed 2 nights across a tiny cluster of 7–8 homes.

Walked into each house like a guest… and they offered whatever they had. No hesitation, just warmth.

Mornings were chai and quiet. Days were their craft — handmade, passed down for years.

Simple homes, but rich in culture, skill, and heart.

Didn’t feel like traveling.
Just felt like living a different life for a bit.

Simple views, deeper feelings.
