Each stroke of his brush tells a story, making this piece not just art but a piece of history. Abdul is the 8th generation who continues the traditional methods. The 9th generation has started to learn the traditional way of making Rogan Art.

Rogan Art is a rare and ancient form of textile painting that originated over 400 years ago in the Kutch region of Gujarat, India. The word "Rogan" comes from the Persian language, meaning "oil-based," as the craft involves using castor oil-based paint to create intricate, freehand designs on fabric. This delicate art form is entirely handcrafted, requiring exceptional skill and patience.

How is Rogan Art Made?

• Castor Oil Preparation – The process begins by boiling castor oil for over 12 hours until it thickens into a jelly-like consistency. This oil is then mixed with natural pigments to create vibrant colours.
• Hand-Painted Designs – Using a metal stylus, artisans carefully stretch the paint into intricate floral, geometric, and peacock motifs without any tracing or stencils. The fabric is never touched by the brush—only the paint adheres to it through freehand movements.
• Folding & Mirroring – In traditional designs, the artist folds the fabric before the paint dries, creating a mirror image of the pattern—a technique unique to Rogan art.
• Drying & Finishing – Once completed, the artwork is left to dry naturally, ensuring that the vibrant colours and delicate patterns remain intact.

Why is Rogan Art So Special?

One-of-a-Kind Craftsmanship – Each piece is individually hand-painted, making no two artworks identical.
Preserving a Dying Art – Once on the verge of extinction, Rogan Art was revived by the Khatri family in Nirona, Gujarat, and is practiced by only a handful of artisans today.
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly – Made with natural materials and age-old techniques, it is a zero-waste art form.
Globally Recognised – Rogan Art gained worldwide attention when Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted a Rogan painting to Barack Obama in 2014.
