Introduction

India hamesha se apni sanskriti, kala aur paramparaon ke liye mashhoor raha hai. Har rajya apne rang, kapdon, khane aur art form ke liye jaana jaata hai. Gujarat ke Kutch region se nikli ek aisi kala hai Lippan Art, jise mud and mirror work bhi kaha jata hai. Ye kala pehle ek simple decoration technique thi jisme mitti aur chhote mirrors ka istemal hota tha. Lekin samay ke sath-sath Lippan Art ne apna rang badla hai. Aaj ke time me ye kala sirf rural India tak simit nahi hai, balki festive decoration, home styling, event backdrop aur international art exhibitions tak pahunch gayi hai.
