and sisal from the neighbouring forests and marshes, and terracotta from the riverbeds.

forms of the handicrafts.

rustic appeal of the Chhattisgarh Handicrafts.

creativity of the people. They learn to live in harmony within themselves and do not attempt to dominate or

outwit the natural forces.

manufacturing the best product. They have years of experiences in manufacturing the objects of daily use to

surpass their original function.

exquisite handicrafts.
