About the Artwork +

Rizwan Khatri is a 7th generation Rogan artist. His father Sidik Khatri, a well known Master artist from village Nirona in Kutch lost everything after the 2001 earthquake and had to forcibly give up rogan art in order to support his family . Rizwan was a young student then but had the vision and love for his family's heritage to take up rogan art again. His father, first skeptical, saw his perseverance and supported him and his brother then took up the art too and together they have been innovating and taking this art forward in new ways. His work has now also been showcased at the Lakme Fashion Week and a painting by him has also been presented by PM Modi to the British High Commissioner. Rizwan has now also taken the initiative to teach this art to 15 women in his village - again a testament to his progressive thinking as women were earlier barred from learning this art. 

This craft is a form of surface embellishment and practiced for over hundred years, but now by only a few families in Nirona, Kachchh. A special paste made of castor is used in this craft. Castor seeds are hand-pounded to extract the oil and turned into a paste by boiling, Colored powder diluted in water is then mixed with this. The pastes of different colors yellow, red, blue, green, black and orange are stored in earthen-pots with water to prevent them from drying up. The kalam, an iron rod, flat at both ends, is used to paint half the design with the support of the fingers of the left hand. It is then impressed on the other half of the cloth by pressing the two halves together. As they were inexpensive substitutes for embroidered textiles, they were popular alternative textiles for clothing. Today, cushion covers, bed spreads, skirts, kurtas, curtains, tablecloths and wall hangings are painted using this technique. Generally, geometrical motifs are preferred; motifs from nature such as tree-of-life are very popular for wall hangings.

Rogan Art


Rogan art is a unique and ancient form of textile painting that hails from the Kutch region in Gujarat, India. This traditional craft has a rich history, dating back over 300 years, and has recently gained renewed interest, both in India and internationally. History and Legend Rogan art is believed to have Persian origin, practiced by the Muslim Khatri community. The term "Rogan" itself is derived from the Persian word "rog," meaning oil. The craft has been passed down through generations within the Khatri community in the village of Nirona, in the Kutch district.  Techniques and Details Rogan art is a painstakingly detailed process. The craft involves boiling castor oil until it thickens, then adding natural pigments to create a vivid, colorful paste. Artisans use a metal stylus, known as a "kalam," to draw intricate designs on fabric, typically cotton or silk. At body temperature, threads of colors are carefully twisted using Kalam, to create designs. Unlike conventional painting, the artisans don’t use pre-drawn patterns; instead, the designs are created freehand, often inspired by nature, folklore, or traditional motifs. One of the most striking features of Rogan art is its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Artisans can spend hours or even days on a single piece, carefully layering the colored paste to create a 3D effect. Common motifs include peacocks, trees of life, flowers, and traditional Indian designs like paisleys and mandalas. For many years, Rogan art was at risk of disappearing. However, thanks to the efforts of the Khatri families in Nirona, the craft has seen a resurgence. In 2014, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, presented a Rogan art piece to then-U.S. President Barack Obama, bringing international attention to the craft.  FAQs How long does it take to create a Rogan art piece?The time required to create a Rogan art piece depends on the complexity of the design and the size of the fabric. Simple designs may take a few hours to complete, while more intricate and larger pieces can take several days or even weeks. Is Rogan art environmentally friendly?Yes, Rogan art is environmentally friendly, as it uses natural materials like castor oil and organic pigments. The traditional methods employed in creating Rogan art have minimal environmental impact, making it a sustainable craft.
