Lachhuben learned embroidery in the traditional way, from her family in Viyar. When she moved to Vandh after marriage she became known as an expert artisan while working in the conventional Rabari way. When economics made two incomes essential, Lachhuben tried several options. The fourth, Kala Raksha, was the one that satisfied cultural as well as economic needs. Lachhuben has served as Coordinator for Kala Raksha since 1994. She attends design, quality control and pricing for the group in Vandh. Lachhuben is both teacher and cultural mediator, and has traveled many times to Delhi and Mumbai to assist in marketing.
