“In our family, making Ranjans is more than just a craft; it’s a tradition that has been passed down through generations. These clay pots are special because they have a unique ability to keep water cool, making them perfect companions for hot summer days.
Every year, from January to March, we embark on the process of creating Ranjans. We gather soil from our surroundings, carefully blending red and black soil with manure and sand. With skilled hands, we shape these materials into the distinctive form of Ranjans, each one carrying a piece of our family’s heritage.
The love for our Ranjans extends beyond our family, as people from all over seek them out. They’re not just pots; they’re symbols of our culture and tradition. Despite facing challenges such as fewer craftsmen and limited support from the government, we remain committed to keeping this tradition alive.
When summer arrives, our Ranjans take on a special significance. They offer not just cool refreshment but also a connection to our family’s history.
So, as the temperatures rise, our Ranjans serve as more than just vessels; they’re carriers of our family’s legacy, offering a refreshing sip of tradition in every drop.”
