The Kumbhars of Khavda say they moved here about 60 years ago from Sumrasar. Before that, they were in Budharmora towards Bhachau. They moved to better service their clients in Khavda. Their clients were the local pastoral communities who preferred simple, folk motifs with a free flow. While there are approximately 30 families who live here, very few of them practice pottery now. Only 3 families have been able to sustain the craft due to the increasing tourist market and with the help various exhibitions. The painting has become extremely stylized as a result, with the signature white dot highlights taken to a new level of embellishment. This along with a similar pottery style from Lodai village has become the face of Kachchh pottery today.
