India is rich in works of art. Visitors to the country are often bothered to decide what handicrafts they take with them. The choices are many, varied and often inexpensive.
The best quality goods are often found in bazaars that live in larger cities such as Delhi, Mumbai (Bombay), Kolkata (Calcutta) and Chennai (Madras). Literally thousands of places - between quaint shops and street stalls - sell handicrafts to visitors.
Rajasthan and Kashmir are the two largest handicraft manufacturers for mass distribution. In Rajasthan, fabrics, jewellery, glass, ceramics, carpets and camel leather products can be purchased. Products made in Kashmir are dominated by rugs, shawls and embroidery. These are often considered to be the best quality products.
Many tribal communities in India produce unusual handicrafts that are popular with tourists. These artisans include the wire animal Takashi of Orissa and the large bronze statues of Nagaland. The Himalayan areas produce huge amounts of silver, turquoise and coral jewellery.
Indian jewellery stores specialize in shiny 22-carat gold. Many local tribes trade in traditional silver jewellery for the more widely preferred gold. Jewellers have silver jewellery in bags that the pound can sell. Trays, cups and plates are processed from brass and copper. The best of these is located in Varanasi.
Mentioning handicrafts in India would not be complete without mentioning Bidriwork, which is a speciality of Aurangabad and Hyderabad. This handcrafted matte gun leather alloy is finely plated with silver and gold. It is then used to make boxes, vases and hugs, or water pipes. These will surely be given to everyone who receives them.
This article only touches on the rich handicraft culture of India. Spend a lot of time looking at the variety and choosing. You are sure to find the perfect souvenir for your trip to India.
