Came across this promotional video about Rogan art on amazon India facebook page. Reminded me of seeing it for the first time at Hunar Haat in February at Connought Place.

I had planned to write about it and a couple of other interesting artisans I met at the Haat who were trying to revive or save these dying practices. Somehow never got around it so here it is.

Rogan Art
Khatri’s son working on his piece oblivious of the onlookers.  

The borders for parsi saris. One of them was priced at Rs 90,000. The embroidery work for these intricate designs is hard on the eyesight. …. works to save this art by providing good working conditions, better wages, and by training the new generation. 

Watch the documentary on the artisans here.
