Re: India Arts and Crafts
As you have asked about the Indian arts and crafts, I am giving you some details about it The crafts of India are diverse, rich in history and religion. The craft of each state in India reflect the influence of different empires. Throughout centuries, crafts have been embedded as a culture and tradition within rural communities. Crafts of Bihar Bihar , recognised by its beautiful Madhubani painting Crafts of Rajasthan These include, fabric colouration and embellishment, decorative painting and puppetryIn the process of fabric colouration, woven fabrics are treated by methods such as tie-dyeing, resist dyeing and direct application. The dupatta worn by women show the popularity of dyeing. Crafts of Gujarat Gujarat is renowned for its textile production methods These are, weaving, dyeing and printing In Bandhani, a unique Gujarati craft, fabric is tied at different sections before dyeing to create patterns. This foundation of forming patterns through dyeing has emerged from the rural communities of this state. Crafts of Assam A state recognized for its creative use of raw materials in textiles and crafts. Assam was one of the states whose craftwork was exhibited in the National Handicrafts and Handborn Museum Silk is the most valued raw material of Assam, with the Antheraea assama worm producing the unique muga silk It is mostly the duty of women to construct silk fabrics, using a domestic backstrap loom.Domestic weaving is an important craft for Assamese women Crafts of South India Dravidian style, stone carved temples reflect the influence of Hinduism whilst Roman Catholic churches echo the impact of the British rule. |
