In the late 20th and early 21st centuries , several factors came together to bring about a renewed interest in rogan art , especially painting . First , after the 2001 Gujarat earthquake , when much of the region was devastated , the water and electricity infrastructure was improved , new roads were built , and the number of flights into the region was increased , all of which led to an increase in tourism . Second , local cooperatives and non-profit groups helped local artisans , including rogan artists , to increase their market by selling in urban settings and online . Third , many members of the Khatri family won state and national awards for their art , thus increasing the prestige of their work . Finally , in 2014 , Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the U.S. White House , and gave President Obama two rogan paintings including a tree of life . They were painted by Abdul Gafur Khatri , a national award winner
