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.
