Ancient Village or Settlement in India
Kanmer, Rapar taluka, Kutch, Gujarat, India
On the Western merges of The Little Rann of Kutch, a small village with ancient history.
I've been stying at an archaeological excavation camp near by, I joined an expedition of Udaipur university headed by Dr. J.S. Kharakwal excavating a mound which belongs to the Hindus Vally civilisation.
The village is in a remote area and it preserved old traditions, cult, traditional wear and religion.
Many temples and shrines for the village goddess and other deities, Sati and hero stones.
The villagers maintain primitive cultivation of fields and trashing with oxes.
They greet each other with 'Jai Mata Ji' (greetings to the goddess).
