Mahmed Yakub Khatri was born in Kutch district, Gujarat state, India. He then moved to Anjar-Kutch, where his mother and sisters have been making Tie & Dye crafts since childhood and they have taught him to practice this craft. When they taught him, he started making crafts on cotton, and gradually he started making Bandhej on Georgette, Gaji, silk, and wool fabrcs. His two older sisters, his father and mother, are no longer in this world, but they taught him the "Bandhni craft", which has become his livelihood now. Mahmed Yakub Khatri's contribution to the art of tie knotting and dyeing is amazing. It is a master craftsman who can dye all kinds of colors independently with different kinds of patterns.
