Thangadh — the district's clay town
About 75 km from the Junction, Thangadh works in clay: kilns, water pots, and the clay birds that are its signature. A visit is a walk through a working craft town — by appointment, and with respect.
The craft
Kilns, pots & clay birds
Thangadh's ceramic yards produce everything from everyday water pots to decorative ware, and the charming clay bird whistles that travellers love. Workshops are working businesses — arrange a visit through a local contact or your hotel, ask before photographing, and buy direct from the kilns. The morning is the liveliest time.
થાંગધ એ માટીનું શહેર છે — ભઠ્ઠી, પાણણ અને માટીનાં પક્ષીઓ. એપોઇન્ટમેન્ટથી મુલાકાત લો અને સીધું ખરીદો.
