Mandvi Traditional Shipbuilding Yard
The Mandvi Traditional Shipbuilding Yard is a historic working shipyard on the banks of the Rukmavati River in Mandvi, Kutch, Gujarat. Renowned for its 400-year-old tradition of handcrafting large wooden dhows and fishing boats, it is operated by the Kharva community of master carpenters who build vessels without modern blueprints using techniques passed down through generations.
