Indian village life belongs to a diverse world in all different time.
Hodka – Kutch
Kutch, India’s Wild West, is a geographic occurrence, full of pastoral exquisiteness. What comes into view is an incessant desert plain consecutively running dead straight into the prospect, is, in fact, a recurring island. It bears a resemblance to a Katchua or Kachbo, which means a tortoise which is enclosed by sea water. Prehistoric temples, good-looking palaces, craggy forts, flamingos, restrained rainfall, wild asses, callous sunlight, and the cool twilight breeze — wow you have so much to lure in Kutch.
The most widespread livelihood of the villagers here is making leather goods and oh-so-colourful exquisite embroidered items. The best time to visit this amazing village is from October to April.
