Cane and Bamboo Style of Gujarat The beatific rustling of a bamboo glade is nature’s calligraphy to the winds. Bamboo or baans and its tensile shape, caricature and form has bent itself well to the willful ministrations of man. Cane and bamboo have swayed their way into the tribal culture of Gujarat. These are such basic elements of daily household use that one barely notices their pervasiveness within all strata of manmade design. Gujarat is home to over 22 varieties of bamboo, spread over vast tracks of forest land in hilly areas and southern and northeastern regions of the state.
