Origin
600 years ago, the marwada community from Rajasthan, migrated to the Kutch region and are known today as Vankar for the art of Traditional Kutch weaving in Gujarat. Traditionally, weavers used hand-spun cotton yarn provided by the Ahir and Patel farming communities and the wool provided by the Rabari and jat pastoral communities. Weaving was a local art, which provided the Kutch communities with blankets, cloth, and traditional dress.
