Description
Chabutro or Chabutaro or Chabutra is integral to Ahmedabad’s culture and traditions and Gujarat’s architectural heritage. Deriving its name from Kabutar, meaning pigeon in English, Chabutaro is an intricately carved tower-like structure.
Built from stone and bricks, these elevated platforms provide refuge to various birds, ranging from small sparrows, mynas and pigeons to large ones such as peacocks. The hood of chabutaro is believed to have been influenced by ‘chatri’ commonly seen in Rajasthani architectural style.
The watercolour art print captures the chabutaro in its majestically silent stoic grace and elegance ? beautiful to look at and a refuge for the little winged creatures. Take home a photo of this artwork and be proud of belonging to a community which is well known for its concern for the welfare of all life forms.
