LLDC Shrujan

A world class Living Museum in Kutch, India. Focusing on traditional textile and other craft forms and their contemporary expressions by artisans & artists.

Shrujan Trust’s interest in crafts revival has motivated it to take its next big leap by establishing

The Living and Learning Design Centre. The LLDC is envisioned to be a multi-dimensional crafts education and resource centre. It is a one-of- its kind Living Museum wherein the fusion of antique and contemporary takes on crafts and embroidery create an eye opening exhibit for the viewer. This Des

ign Centre will nurture the capacity of all the crafts in the region of Kutch, and make them relevant and marketable; therefore encouraging practising and aspiring craftspersons to earn through a prosperous livelihood of their own. In addition to showcasing the skills of the multiple communities, LLDC also works to preserve these crafts and aims to become a treasury of information for the traditional textiles and crafts of the region. Its thriving research department has currently taken on the task to trace the evolution of the embroideries and crafts in multiple communities. Gallery 1 of LLDC has recently inaugurated its second show which celebrates the awe-inspiring embroidery and crafts of these communities. Apart from this, a well stocked library and three crafts studios are also open to those interested in learning about these crafts. The recognition and preservation of these crafts is of utmost importance and LLDC dedicates itself to fulfil this mission.

India's independence gave us the freedom to preserve, celebrate, and pass on the traditions that define who we are.

Every handwoven textile, every embroidered motif, every folk melody, and every handcrafted creation carries the wisdom of generations.
They are not just art forms.

They are expressions of an independent nation's identity.
This Independence Day, let us honour not only the freedom we earned, but also the artisans who continue to keep India's cultural legacy alive, one creation at a time.

Happy Independence Day. 🇮🇳

Some festivals end with applause. Kala Sangam begins with conversations.

When musicians, dancers, writers, artists, and audiences come together, something extraordinary happens. Ideas are exchanged, perspectives evolve, and art finds new meaning.

Don't just take our word for it. Hear from those who experienced the very first-ever Kala Sangam 2025 and discovered a space where creativity met community.
This is what Kala Sangam is all about.

Every masterpiece begins with a single line.

Long before the first stitch is embroidered, artisans carefully trace the design that guides every motif. What began with simple marks made using red soil and other natural materials gradually evolved into pencil sketches, pen outlines, and today, tracing paper and modern techniques.

The tools may have changed, but the patience, precision, and artistry remain timeless.
At LLDC, every step of this journey reminds us that preserving a craft also means preserving the stories behind how it is created.
