The base of the paint is castor oil, and it's what gives the art its name — Rogan means oil in Farsi. The oil is heated over a fire for two days until it becomes a honey-like texture. Then, it's combined with crushed pigment to create the paint. The Khatri family normally sell their pieces to tourists in the town of Bhuj, about 25 miles from the small village of Nirona, where they work. This year, the pandemic put a strain on their peak season.
"In 1980 I decided that I will not waste my life on this art," Khatri told Business Insider, "And there were some arguments in the family due to that because at that time sending a kid from a village to Mumbai was a big deal."
