Explore Rogan Handpainted Stoles - Classic & Artistic

The History of Rogan Art and Its Craftsmanship

Rogan art is an ancient and intricate painting technique that has its roots in the Kutch region of Gujarat, India. This craft dates back over 300 years and was originally practiced by families who passed down the skill through generations. The word "Rogan" means "oil-based," which reflects the core of this art — creating patterns with a thick, colorful paste made from castor oil and natural pigments.

The process of Rogan painting is delicate and highly skilled. Artisans heat castor oil over a fire for several hours until it thickens to a sticky consistency. This is then mixed with natural dyes to create a bright, colorful paste. Using a metal stylus, artisans skillfully draw patterns on the fabric, without any sketches or templates. Each stroke is done freehand, which makes every Rogan piece truly unique. Traditional designs often feature intricate floral patterns, geometric shapes, and motifs inspired by nature.

This art form, once on the verge of extinction, has been revitalized thanks to dedicated efforts by artisans and cultural preservation initiatives. iTokri proudly brings you a collection of authentic Rogan art stoles, showcasing this timeless craft that blends traditional beauty with modern appeal. Each Rogan stole represents hours of meticulous work, highlighting the artisan’s skill and passion.
