Persian And Urdu Ramayans

BY Dr. Ajit Pradhan

Maneklal Trikamlal Gajjar, wooden blockmaker, born Pethpur, Gujarat, 1928: I learnt block-making from my father and grandfather who were producing designs called ‘saudagiri’. Arab traders took textiles printed from these to Siam (Thailand) during the days of the British. My work has been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in England, the Peabody Museum in USA and at museums in Japan, Switzerland and other places. I have also spent a month in Belgium showcasing my art. Though I have trained many, no one is thorough in all aspects and I don’t know what will happen to this art once I am gone. I had taught my youngest daughter but she stopped doing it after marriage due to household responsibilities. I have been trying to persuade her husband to learn. The work is very strenuous on the eyes. It is only people’s enthusiastic response that keeps me going. This is an art and not a business.
