Collection: Mata ni Pachhedi

Mata ni Pachhedi is a traditional textile art form from the Vaghari community of Gujarat, India. The name “Mata ni Pachhedi” translates to “behind the Mother Goddess,” referring to the cloth used as a backdrop in shrines dedicated to goddesses, particularly the Mother Goddess (Mata). This art form is both religious and artistic, serving as a means of worship for deities, especially in communities that may not have access to permanent temple structures.
