Gurama is a type of arts and crafts, which takes a special place
in Azerbaijan's culture.
For many decades, gurama has been widely spread in Azerbaijan.
The patchwork was very common until the beginning of the 20th
century.
Now simple and original geometric patterns are replaced by more
complex combinations of colors and shapes.
Work on the revival of Azerbaijan's ancient gurama art is
currently underway.
Note that the first National Gurama Festival was held for the
first time in 2022.
Large patchwork was presented as part of the festival. Four and
a half meters wide and 25 meters long gurama left everyone
astonished.

Historical and Ethnographic Reserve. The presentation took place in
front of the Maiden's Tower.
A number of events were held within the festival, including a
scientific and practical conference, an exhibition of arts and
crafts and a fair and sale, master classes, art therapy
