The city brims with the ornate buildings, a pristine coastal region, and a picturesque lake, located on the coast of the Gulf of Kutch. Here making brass utensils and tie-dye fabrics were the primary sources of income for the locals. Jamnagar was once called “Pearl City” as it was a pearl fishing centre with one of the biggest pearl fisheries in the world.
Predominantly, Jamnagar is known for its incredible Bandhani (tie and dye) sarees. Bandhani is considered the most important crafts in Jamnagar in terms of employment. It is believed that this craft originated some 5000 years ago.
