Abstract

This study attempts to document the splendid bead craft of Saurashtra that has reached the threshold of its purest form as it requires good skill, patience and hard work. The main objectives are to document the craft of beadwork in detail and record the changes that have occurred in its history, raw material used, techniques, motifs, and the significance of its colours and products. Data with regards to the craft have been collected from a purposively selected sample from three major districts in Saurashtra - Junadgadh, Rajkot and Porbandar, by a multi visit approach. It is observed that bead craft has undergone a number of changes in motifs, colours and production of articles which has now been diversified with new forms of motifs and colours.
