Story of the Hands: Abdul Kaka – The Last Potter of Khavda

in May 30, 2025

Meet Abdul Kaka, the last practicing potter of Khavda village in Gujarat. His family has been shaping this art for generations, passing it down like sacred knowledge. Today, they remain the only ones keeping this indigenous craft alive.

With every pot he makes, Abdul Kaka owns not just the skill, but the story. A story of resilience, of holding onto roots when the world moves on. Through his hands, the history of a civilisation continues to breathe.

At Akkaara, we are humbled to share his story through our Story of the Hands series. Share his story to support Abdul Kaka and his indigenous art—because every voice matters in keeping a craft alive.
