Mud Work / Lippan Art Work (also known as Lippan Kaam) is a traditional mural craft of Kutch, Gujarat, India

Lippan or mud-washing using materials locally available in the region like mixture of clay and camel dung keeps the interiors of the houses cool. Though the work is limited mainly to the interior walls, it can be found on the outer walls as well. These glittering murals bring life, pleasure, and beauty to generally harsh life of people of Kutch.

Mud Work gathered attention of the Modern World for its intricate pattern and aesthetic perfection and has made a full transition from its unknown modest stature to the mainstream art world, decorating the walls of urban homes.
