Ramiben was born in Momai Mora. She never attended school, but learned embroidery from her family. She moved to Vandh after marriage, and became a founder member of Kala Raksha over thirteen years ago. Through Kala Raksha, Ramiben embroidered samples for Ritu Kumar. Her bakhiya work was especially appreciated. In addition, Ramiben learned to read and write in Kala Raksha education classes. Ever eager to acquire new skills, Ramiben has enjoyed digital photography at Kala Raksha Vidhyalaya.

Ramiben is still known for her fine hand. “Our hand work finds a good market with Kala Raksha,” she says. “So we often use machine embroidery for ourselves today.” But, though traditional work may have a lower priority, it is still important. “We must wear it when we are in public, to express the varied aspects of our identity.” Ramiben explains.

After graduating, Ramiben has served as a mentor at Kala Raksha Vidhyalaya.  She was a design intern at Kala Raksha in 2009, funded by COMO Foundation.
