TRADITIONAL GUJARATI ARCHITECTURE COLLECTION OF PICHVAI ART OF AND THE FINEST THE NATH DWARA TRADITION, WELCOME TO THE ONE-OF-A-KIND HOME OF ARTIST, SCHOLAR, AND ART COLLECTOR AMIT AMBALAL.
In the bustling city of Ahmedabad, a magnificent house stands on the cusp of both the traditional and modern, reverberating with memories and countless conversations on life, art, and history.
This is the home of artist, scholar, and art collector Amit Ambalal. Born in 1943, Ambalal (lovingly known as Amit bhai) hails from an influential Gujarati mercantile family in Ahmedabad, where his mother's artistic ingenuity; his visionary father; his guru, artist Chhaganlal Jadav, and his friendships with scholars and artists collectively shaped his life and artistic career.
With over 30 solo exhibitions, several publications, expertise on the visual culture of Nathdwara, and a rare, keen eye for art-not to forget his inimitable wit and humour-Amit bhai's persona is as intriguing as his home and art collection.
