Life in a handicraft village near the Great Rann of Kutch.
This is a small village in Bhirandiara near the Chhari Dhand Bird Sanctuary in Gujarat enroute to the Great White desert. This is basically a single family involved in handicrafts and offering a holiday homestay.
Bhirandiara is also home to the Raysipotra. The Raysipotra are a Muslim community found in the state of Gujarat in India and a province of Sindh in Pakistan. They are one of a number of communities of pastoral nomads found in the Banni region of Kutch.
The Raysipotra get their name from Raysojee, who belonged to the Dal Muslim community. They are a small Maldhari community found in the village of Bhirandiara in the Banni region of Kutch. They are also found in the village of Gadhiyado. Their habitat is located in the heart of the Banni region, a semi-desert ecosystem. The climate is dry and hot, and pastoral lifestyle is the only option for the inhabitants. They speak Kutchi with many Sindhi loanwords.
The community has no sub-divisions, and are an endogamous community, but do marry with other Samma . They prefer parallel cousin and cross cousin marriages.
The Raysipotra are a community of Maldhari cattle breeders. They take their cattle to bazaars of Bhuj. In addition to cattle rearing, they also raise goats and buffaloes. Like other Kutchi communities, many of them have migrated to other parts of India in search of employment. They are Sunni Muslims and most follow the Barelvi tradition.

Khan-e Borujerdi, one of the 19th century restored mansions that Kashan is famous for. To varying degrees, these mansions are a mix of traditional Persian design with features drawn from European Renaissance architecture. All have courtyard gardens with pools, sometimes several courtyard gardens. Grand iwans overlook these courtyard gardens, below which are cool cellar recesses. These mansions feature carved and pierced plasterwork, stained glass, latticework in masonry, and mirrorwork decoration. Khan-e-Borujerdi makes most play with European styles in the profuse carved plasterwork.

After lunch, we went to Khan-e Borujerdi, one of the restored 19th century historical houses in Kashan. It looked rather sad in winter. The main hall was under restoration but other chambers were quite impressive. In order to have a better view of the distinct feature of Khan-e Borujerdi, a multi-faceted wind tower, one had to climb to the ledge of the second level.

Pulled out the old Sindhi topi that was lying in my closet (along with my Sindhi vests, pillow covers, and parandaas), and tossed it in my teacher bucket for Tuesday ("authentic texts" in class).
Seeing the topi again reminded me of its origin. No, not the part of its origin where...(read entire post here oylpa.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-284-sindhi-topi.html ).

On way back to Kashan, we stopped by a farmhouse because we saw a few camels from the road. The residents were not around when we dropped by. We went to the backyard where they kept the camels. The camels ignored us so someone found a way to catch their attention by luring them with hay. Hamed tried the same tactic but he was less lucky. He did not give up and ran after a camel. Imagine this, Hamed running after a camel with a hand waving a bunch of hay in the air and was in turn chased by a farm dog! It was a hilarious scene to watch and we had a good laugh. When Hamed gave up and walked towards us, panting and in between breaths, he exclaimed that now he knew camels could run really fast!
