The White Rann, Reimagined

A cultural destination where the desert becomes a celebration.

For a few months each year, the vast white expanse of the Rann of Kutch transforms into one of India’s most vibrant cultural destinations. Rann Utsav - The Tent City brings together landscape, craft, music, and celebration allowing guests to experience the desert at its most expressive and immersive.

The Story of Rann Utsav

Rann Utsav draws its spirit from the cultural heart of Kutch - a land shaped by resilient communities, living traditions, and extraordinary craftsmanship.
Set against the White Rann, the destination celebrates regional art, folk music, cuisine, and craft in a setting that feels both authentic and elevated. Every element is thoughtfully interpreted to allow guests to experience Kutch as a living culture, not a spectacle.
