Lippan Art is characterized by the use of molding mud (called "Lippan" in the local dialect) and tiny mirror pieces. The art form is typically done in vibrant colors like red, yellow, green, and blue, often creating patterns of geometric shapes, motifs, and symbols. The term "Lippan" itself comes from the Gujarati word for "mud paste," which is the base material used to craft the designs. Lippan Art is deeply rooted in the traditional culture of Gujarat and has been passed down through generations, especially among the communities in Kutch.
