Local tips
Buy directly from the weavers, so more of the money goes to the people who made the piece.
Go in the morning or early afternoon, when the weavers are usually at their looms.
Ask before photographing weavers, their families or their homes.
Watch the weaving for a while before you shop, and ask how long a piece took to make.
Expect small differences in colour and size between handloom pieces, which is part of their character.
Bargain politely, if at all, as each piece takes many hours of handwork.
Combine your visit with Hiralaxmi Craft Park and the block printers of Ajrakhpur.
About Bhujodi
Bhujodi is a craft village about 8 km from Bhuj, best known for its handloom weavers. Families from the Vankar weaving community work at wooden looms in their homes and workshops, making shawls, stoles and blankets in traditional Kutchi patterns. Some of the village's weavers have won awards for their work.
A visit here is less about sightseeing and more about meeting the people who make Kutch's crafts. You can watch the weavers at work, see embroidery and other crafts, and buy directly from the makers. Hiralaxmi Craft Park, near the village, brings together stalls selling crafts from across Kutch, and the block-printing village of Ajrakhpur, known for ajrakh printed with natural dyes, is a short drive away.
