A surfeit of wide-ranging hues, abundance of design, surplus of culture, profusion of music and dance, in short, in the scorched lands of Kutch creates a mixture of loveliness, which mirrors the uniqueness, and spirit of the region. Rann of Kutch, counted among the most ecologically and culturally varied district of the state is a commemorative land of art, music, dance, and nature. For the duration of the full moon night of the winter in the middle of the breath taking and divergent backdrop, each year a three-day cheerful extravaganza crammed with hospitality, dynamism and customary essence of the region is hosted and well known as the Kutch or Rannutsav.
Kutch, also written as ‘Kachchh’ finds its roots in a fable that its map, if turned upside down, resembles ‘kachchh’, the Sanskrit word for tortoise. The villages of Kutch, despite being amid arid lands and harsh climate, have always remained fertile with diverse culture and artistry.
The Indo-Pak border lends Kutch a demography that is an eclectic mix of refugees from across the border, tribes from different regions, and religions, which reflects in its homes, food, art, social traditions and landmarks that include Jain temples, mosques, Swaminarayan Temple, museums, to name a few.
The history of Kutch is studded with legacy of artistry passed on through ages and its villages are living examples of its resilience to brave the fatal 2001 earthquake. The geographical location makes Kutch a unique destination where you can find beaches, mountains and White Desert.
