Indian Arts Crafts

India is world renowned for its jewellery making, fabric designing, gem cutting and its fine work on the wooden items, its paintings, traditional banarasi sarees, terracotta items, brass wares, pottery, kashmiri carpets etc. If you like traditional embroidery work, you will definitely like Indian fine work on sarees, salwar suits, silk stones etc.

Patola, banarasi and kancheevaram sarees are known world wide. If you like some thing in cotton, then you can pick cotton embroidered kurtis, cotton shirts for summer and cotton sarees for some simple occasions. Brocade, pashmina and meenakari work are also quite known. It makes use of silk and gold jewellery in its work to achieve the royal finish. Use of gold and silver in fabric was started in the ancient times when gold and silver were sold like rice and dhal in the market, especially during the Mysore wodeyar regime.

Carpet weaving: Kashmiris are known for their carpet weaving. It has gained significance not only in the domestic market but also world wide. Jaipur is also famous for its carpet work. You can find the moghul styles with royal finish. You can get them in the form of flower patterns which gives you the feeling of flower beds. There is a great demand for costly silk carpets from Kashmir, which has become the status symbol in traditional Indian homes, but there is also demand for woolen and non-woolen carpets. A variety of floorings and traditional durries are flooding the markets these days and decorating the floors of Indian homes.

Jewellery: Terracotta, jute, gold and silver all of these are used in making exquisite jewellery. You can find the traditional ones, modern designs and some times a fusion of both. The different jewellery includes armlets, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, earrings, fingerings, toe rings, nose rings, anklets, pendants and waistbands. Silver is carved into very thin wires and the design is made by molding the wires. Meena work involves filling the metallic design with different colours and intricate designs carved out on them.
