Mata Ni Pachedi is a Gujarati tribal art form originated within the Vaghari tribe who were denied entry to temples. The people of this tribe then started painting the images of the Mother Goddess on cloth with natural colours and bamboo brushes and used to worship that cloth. This practice later developed into an art form.
The art, culture, and heritage of the state of Gujarat rank as one of the richest and most fascinating in the country. The unique and diverse cultural heritage of Gujarat attracts several tourists all-round the year.
Gujarat is remarkably renowned for its rich array of art and handicrafts, which are popular not only in the country but all across the globe.
