THE LIPPAN ART 3D model

Lippan art work is the traditional artwork of the desert region of Rajasthan and Gujarat. ‘Lippan’ means to apply. Beautiful designs using camels, birds, trees, flowers, peacocks and other nature inspired motifs are created on the wall of homes using mud, thread and mirrors. Deities and symbols that bring prosperity and peace to homes are creatively designed in this art form. Mud and mirror work is mainly done by the women of the Rabari community. The women are so experienced in this art form that they usually don’t draw or trace a pattern before beginning work. Rabari is the pastoral community of Kutch, living in the outskirts of its villages. They dwell in a few clusters of communal or family houses known as Bhungas which are designed and built to take care of their practical needs in the harsh climate of Kutch. This art form has no records available to trace its origin.
