If You Want Indian Handicrafts, Online Shopping is the Way to Go

India is a vast canvas of cultural and ethnic identities. This is nowhere more evident than in the handicraft and folk art that varies as you move from one region to the other. Go to Kashmir and you have exquisite silverware and walnut wood carved articles. Move a bit to the East and you have carved furniture that is so popular around Saharanpur and Dehradun. The Eastern states have exquisite bamboo work because bamboo grows so extensively in this region. Go west to Rajasthan and Gujarat and you have lovely miniature paintings and tie-dye fabrics as well as carvings and metal work. Down South it is granite carvings and brassware. There are handicrafts emporia promoted by each State’s handicrafts development board but your choices are restricted. Instead, if you want the widest range of Indian handicrafts online shopping is the way to go. 

Even among online stores offering Indian handicrafts the articles on display vary widely with one store offering furniture while another may offer paper mache work and so on. There are a few online shopping sites such as www.craftsvenue.com that are like treasure houses of exquisite Indian handicrafts. Hand painted metal kettles, Dhokra metal work wall hanging; exquisite miniatures in metal and metal hanging lamps add a unique charm to your home. Take a look at the quaint and rustic looking Channapatna wooden toys. Try buying some handmade and hand printed pillow covers and cushion covers. If you want something beautiful to adorn your walls you can always pick exquisite miniature paintings done in painstaking detail. When you buy Indian handicrafts online you not only enjoy convenience of doorstep delivery but can take satisfaction in the fact that you are helping someone somewhere earn a living.
