ABOUT THE ARTFORM
Mata ni Pachedi means “behind the Mother Goddess” in Gujarati. Pachedi is a religious textile folk art. It is also known as the Kalamkari of Gujarat, given the similarity of technique. It features the Mother Goddess and her stories at the center, the remaining cloth is then filled with images of devotees along with flora and fauna.
