WELCOME TO RANGOTSAV – CRAFT VILLAGE

Nestled amidst lush hills, flowing rivers, and serene landscapes, Karjat is known for its natural beauty and cultural richness.

Rangotsav Craft Village emerges here as a living celebration of craft, colour, and community – where tradition is not displayed behind glass, but practiced in open courtyards, painted on mud walls, and shared through hands-on experiences.

This is not just a destination. It is a cultural journey.
