Traditional Art

Traditional Art
Traditional Art - India is a country with varied culture and each culture has its own form of expressions like handicrafts, songs, dance, food and lifestyle. There are many villages with specialized handicrafts, some known some unknown. It is our endeavor to give them a window/ showcase. Many such traditional arts are on the verge of extinction due to a lack of market and many artisans have moved to cities for a livelihood thus bringing an end to the rich traditions of rural India. It is our endeavor to make these handicrafts available to the world without having to travel to India or these places ÔÇô accessible to anyone, anywhere and anytime and keeping the traditions alive. We have covered the following states:

-         Assam for Weaves 
-         Andhra Pradesh for Leather Art 
-         Bihar for Madhubani paintings
 -        Chattisgarh for Dhokra Art
 -        Kerala for Aranmula Kannadi (Metal Mirrors)
          Odisha for Pattachitra (Palm leaves, Paper Machche and Tussar Paintings) 
 -        Rajasthan for Mughal Art
-         Tripura for Bamboo/ Cane Weaves 
A lifetime would not be enough to cover the whole of India but it will be our constant pursuit to bring every form of art existing in India to this portal ÔÇô some known, some unknown.
