INTRODUCTION

The story of Indian Handicrafts comes from one the oldest

civilizations of the world. The vast cultural and ethnic
diversity has enabled a variety of motifs, techniques and
crafts to flourish on this land.
India has a rich handicrafts heritage which has
evolved over centuries. The legacy of Indian
culture promises everything - beauty, dignity, form
and style. The magnetic appeal of the arts and
crafts of India lies in its exclusivity and mystical
tone which leaves people spell bound. The sheer
versatility of the various metals and materials used
to create handicrafts and handcrafted gift items,
such as wood, stone, metal, grass, papier mache,
glass, cane and bamboo, textiles, clay, terra-cotta
and ceramics, makes handcrafted items from India
truly

unique.

This,

CRAFTS OF UTTAR PRADESH

Zardozi
The craft of zardozi or silver and gold embroidery was
brought into India by Delhi's Turko-Afghan sultans in the 12th
century. Down the ages, the craft became equally popular
with the wealthy Hindu, Muslim, and European classes. Today
several

families

in

Varanasi,

Agra,

Lucknow,

Rampur,

Bareilly, and Farrukhabad, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, have

revived this old craft to supply exquisite zari embroidered
bridal outfits and salwar kameezes to boutiques round the
country. But prices are considerably lower in Uttar Pradesh.
Innovative designers have added functional bags, belts,
caps, cushions, and wall hangings to their stock of ready to
wear and custom made zardozi garments. A lighter and
flashier offshoot of traditional Indian zardozi finds its way to
top fashion houses around the world.
Chikankari
Uttar Pradesh's capital, Lucknow, is closely associated with
another fine embroidery, chikankari. These cool summery
shadow-work saris, kurtas, and veils have been in vogue in
this city for hundreds of years. Prices vary according to the
quality of material used, and the work done on it. Table and

household linen in white or pale pastel muslin, organdy and

voile are also popular buys.
Jewelry
The jewelers of this region specialize in making lightweight,
hollow gold and silver ornaments, with emphasis on filigree
and open work. So the huge jhumka earrings won't hurt your
ears, and the impressive gold bangles don't cost a fortune!
Semi- precious stones, artificial pearls, glazed quartz, and
glass are used to recreate elegant old designs, which can
pass off as family heirlooms. Of course, for those with a
penchant for the best that money can buy, there are
centuries old jewelry shops selling the real stuff like the
Basra pearls, emeralds, rubies and diamonds. Then there are
hair ornaments fit for nawabi weddings, riyasati signet rings,
status conferring gold toe rings, and key rings to tuck into
smartly draped saris.
Metalware
The silver hookahs (hubble-bubble) and paan dans (betel nut
containers) of this area are in a class of their own. Again,
status symbols of the feudal zamindari era, these antiques
are really replicas. Mostly made in Lucknow, Agra, Allahabad,
and Rampur, they come in many sizes and designs and
varied prices.

Engraved, embossed, enameled and burnished brass vessels

bowls, stools, coffee tables, vases, candle stands, beer
mugs, statues, door knobs and knockers, drawer handles,
towel and napkin rings, and mirror frames are just some of
the items made and sold in Uttar Pradesh. Benaras brass
workers specialize in engraving stylized flowers, vines,
leaves, birds, geometric octagons and roundels on highly
polished brass. Muradabadi craftsmen turn out colorful
enameled brass, good copies of famous bronzes, Tibetan
tantric statues and Buddhist ceremonial vessels in mixed
alloys, which can pass off as antiques.
Pottery
Khurja and Cinnahat near Bulandshahr and Lucknow produce
pottery, which is popular with young homemakers and single
working men and women. Modern abstract or traditional
animal, paisley, and floral designs decorate tea sets, dinner
plates, coffee mugs, soup bowls, serving dishes, and indoor
pots. Bhadoi offers stylish black pottery, which few seem to
know about.
Doll Making
Handmade Indian cloth dolls dressed in colorful regional
costumes are other popular, inexpensive souvenirs and gift
items. Uttar Pradesh's dhoti clad peasant farmer, fez capped
Nawab, sari draped bride and jeweled Kathak dancer dolls

are usually in great demand by children, collectors and

tourists.
Leather Craft
Leather craft in Uttar Pradesh, though largely rural based,
has developed links with well-known metropolitan designing
and manufacturing units having good marketing outlets,
show rooms and export tie-ups. Kanpur and Agra are the
main centres for shoes, sandals, chappals, country jooties,
saddles, harness, leather jackets and other garments,
gloves, handbags, wallets, belts, puppets, and musical
instruments. Indian leather goods especially shoes and
handbags are very reasonably priced compared with similar
designer items available in the West.
Bangles
Firozabad's colorful glass bangles find their way into every
Indian home. Opaque, clear, or decorated with silver and
gold metal wire, artificial seed pearls, beads, or glittering
kundan, glass bangles are must for every Indian bride.
The color and cut glass items of Firozabad include glasses,
jugs,

bowls,

vases,

animal

figurines,

ashtrays,

and

chandeliers. They don't have the perfection of Belgian,

Bohemian, or Venetian crystal and cut glass, but are
certainly more easy on the pocket. And the hand blown milky

colored glass items are sophisticated and pretty enough to

be displayed.
Natural Fragrances
Shakespeare may have identified perfumes with Arabia
(Macbeth), but India has been the prime producer of natural
fragrances

since

civilization

began.

Uttar

Pradesh

in

particular produces not only the attar of roses popularized by

the Mughal Empress Noorjahan, but also Heena, Chameli
(jasmine) and Khas. Rose and jasmine farming is done at
Agra, Aligarh, Meerut, Lucknow, Ramnagar, Saharanpur,
Gazipur, and Kannauj. Most of this attar goes to satisfy the
colossal

domestic

and

foreign

cosmetic

and

perfume

industry demands. But tiny phials and large flagons are

available from stockists.
Stone Carving
Agra's long association with the fabulous Mughal Court gave
rise to many arts and crafts including stone carving. Replicas
of Taj Mahal, marble boxes, wall plates, table tops, coasters,
and ashtrays inlaid with semi-precious stones and mother of
pearl in pleasing pietra dura designs taken from Mughal
monuments and paintings are very popular purchases. The
simpler Gurara stone carvings, paperweights, and Rubic
cube like candleholders, which take four different sizes,
make excellent gifts and mementoes.

Carpets
Quality and price wise, Indian carpets give you great value
for money. The Mughal emperor Akbar established carpetweaving centers at Lahore and Agra to supply his imperial
court with good hand-knotted carpets in Persian, Turkish and
Central Asian designs. These are still being made and sold in
Agra, a major tourist center. The carpet weaving centers of
Varanasi, Bhadoi, and Mirzapur were set up by a Persian
master weaver in the 17th century. The handmade carpets,
rugs and prayer mats from Uttar Pradesh, Kashmir, and
Rajasthan are finding their way into Arabian palaces and
American mansions.

STONE WORK
India has a rich tradition of stonework. Guilds of masons and
stone carvers have existed here since the 7th century B.C.
Different types of stones like, marble, soapstone, sand stone
are used by craftsmen in India. Stone
working in India is not only restricted to
ornate carvings on temples or sculptures
of deities, but it is also used in making
items like carved panels, tiles, paper
weights, pen stands, models of historical
buildings, sculptures of animals and
humans etc. The basic design is traced on the stone and it is
given a crude shape. The final carving is then carried out
and the items are polished.
For centuries, Mathura and Varanasi remained at the center
stage of development. Both these places reached near
perfection in stone carving, while maintaining their own
distinctive style. In the 3rd century B.C., the imperial court of
Ashoka provided a great boost to the art of stone carving.
The stupas and cave temples of this period are perhaps the
earliest surviving stone structures. The red sandstone of
Chunar has been lavishly used in the stone sculptures, which
were found in excavations of the Mathura and Agra areas
dating back to the Mauryan era.

Stone as the epitome of strength and beauty

The fascination for stone has transcended all times and
ages. Whether it is ornate inlay with onyx black marble or
finely latticed soapstone, the appeal of the stone has been
immutable. Both Hindu and Muslim rulers of India patronized
this art. The craft in Uttar Pradesh reached artistic heights of
excellence during the Mughal period when Taj Mahal was
created.
Nothing epitomizes best the ethos of Varanasi and Agra than
their

stone

masterpieces,

carvings.

From

perfectly

chiseled

intricate

to

classy

tabletops with inlay work, every item is a piece of exclusive

artwork.
A hub of stone carving on sandstone
Uttar Pradesh is still a rich hub of stone carvings on
sandstone. The traces of royal fascination for stone are still
visible in the intricately carved forts and palaces. Now the
focus has shifted to exploring a variety of other stones and
articles. Art lovers can source architectural objects to suit
indoor parts of modern homes, such as carved pillars,
railings and fireplaces. Present day craftsmen find small gifts

and souvenirs like candle stands, ashtrays, jewelry boxes,

and Taj replicas more in demand.
The most prominent decorative items are artistic statues of
Indian Gods and Goddesses with finely carved facial
expressions. In this land of the Buddha, even today students
of stone carving start with his statues, trying to perfect
complex hand gestures and facial expressions reflecting
different mudras.
The artwork
The artwork on stone is a combination of carving, inlaying
engraving, sculpture and undercut (art of making multi
layered decorative items out of one single piece of stone,
hollowed from inside). Designs are made by cutting the
stone and varying fine patterns on it. In fact, stonecutters
and sculptors work hand in hand. The base material of work
is marble, gorara soapstone and occasionally cuddapah.
Marble is brought from the quarries of Makarana, Rajasthan.
The choicest work from Agra can be seen in black and white
marble from Rajasthan, or Alabaster of Italy, with semi
precious materials such as Cornelian, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli,
Mother of Pearl, Onyx Agate and Shazar laid into it. Use of
inexpensive shells instead of semi precious stone make for
reasonably priced gift items. The famous inlay work of Agra
reflects the mosaic work used in Taj Mahal and Fatehpur

Sikri. At present, this work is limited and enjoys an exclusive

foreign demand.
Cutting the stone
Before machines were introduced, stonecutters and carvers
had only the hammer and chisel at their disposal. The
artisans of yesteryears also had to hunt for the right type of
stone, and learn the art of quarrying. The markets are well
developed now and traders sell cut size sand stone and
soapstone, as well as expensive stones like granite and
marble. While practices in most part of Varanasi are still old
fashioned, artisans in Agra use mechanized tools.
In the alleys and by-lanes of Agra, artisans can be seen
operating country made machines for cutting, grinding,
buffing and polishing of stone. In spite of the use of these
simple machines, it requires a very skillful manipulation of
chisel and hammer to bring out curvilinear patterns and
designs. Grinding and polishing is a multi stage process,
using graded grit of hard stone, followed by continuous
rubbing with pigments and wax.

requiring the expertise similar to cutting and polishing of

jewelry stones using chisels and grinding stones is done by

experienced Pachikars.
Stone work of Varanasi
The stone work of Varanasi is very different from other
places. Instead of hard marble, carving is done on a soft
stone called gorara - a stone brought from the Hamirpur and
Mahoba areas. The uniqueness of gorara is its unpredictable
range of colors. On polishing, mottled gorara brings out a
hue of shades varying from gray to bright pink, green to
black. Due to its softness, only small pieces of gorara are
available, thereby, limiting the size of its end products. Bowls
and servicing dishes are popular products.
To truly indulge in stone craft, one must stroll through the
maze of narrow lanes in the Sonia and Kalimohal areas of
Varanasi, and Gokulpura in Agra. It could be a delightful
discovery trip for curio collectors. About 4,000 artisans, the
living force behind this age-old tradition, can be found
creating wonders from stone in these areas.

TEXTILE WORK
India has a diverse and rich textile tradition. The origin of
Indian textiles can be traced to the Indus valley civilization.
The people of this civilization used homespun cotton for
weaving their garments. India had numerous trade links with
the outside world and Indian textiles were popular in the
ancient world. Indian silk was popular in Rome in the early
centuries of the Christian era. Hoards of fragments of cotton
material originating from Gujarat have been found in the
Egyptian tombs at Fostat, belonging to 5th century A.D.

Banarasi Silk Saris

In the most ancient and sacred city of Varanasi, there
thrives an equally ancient tradition. Thousands of weavers
are engaged in weaving Banarasi saris.
Banarasi Silk Saris
The Banarasi saris gained popularity during the Mughal era.
During this period, all art was amalgamated to create a
fusion of aesthetics. Persian motifs and Indian designs on
silk studded with gold and silver remained the cue of Mughal
patronage. Today these saris are being exported worldwide.
There are mainly four varieties of Banarasi sari available
today. They are pure silk (katan); organza (kora) with zari

and silk; georgette, and shattir. The sari making is more of a

cottage industry for several million people around Varanasi
encompassing Gorakhpur and Azamgarh as well.
Making The Sari
Most of the silk for the saris comes from South mainly
Bangalore where sericulture is a unique industry. The
weavers weave the basic texture of the sari on the power
loom. In weaving the warp, they create the base, which runs
into 24 to 26 meters. There are around 5600 thread wires
with 45-inch width.
At the weaving loom, three people work. One weaves, the
other works at the revolving ring to create lacchis (rolled
bundles). At this juncture, another important process is
initiated. This is designing the motifs. There are several
traditional artists in Varanasi who, though not formally
trained in designing, create wonderful designs for saris.
To create naksha patta (design boards) the artist first draws
on graph paper with color concepts. Traditional designs
remain the base appeal for Varanasi saris. Once the design
in selected then small punch cards are created. These serve
as guides for which color thread has to pass through which
cards and at what stage. For one design, one requires
hundreds of perforated cards to implement the concept. The

prepared perforated cards are knitted with different threads

and colors on the loom. Then, according to the design, they
are paddled in a systematic manner so that the main
weaving picks up the right colors and pattern.
A normal sari takes around 15 days to one month and
sometimes six months to complete. However, it all depends
on the intricacy of designs and patterns to be created on the
sari.
Weaving Banarasi saris is a functional art of India, which has
been going on for centuries within a great fabric of Indian
traditional weavers.

CARPETS & FLOORING

Carpets and floorings are an integral part of Indian homes.
Carpets are generally made from wool and silk. However
floorings like mats and durries are made up of a variety of
material, ranging from wool, cotton, jute, coir, bamboo and
grass. One can trace the origins of carpet weaving tradition
in India to the Mughal dynasty. Mughals not only used the
Persian

technique

of

carpet

weaving,

but

were

also

influenced by traditional designs and motifs from Persia.

Mughal carpets were as intricate as their miniatures and
often depicted court life, animals and floral decorations.
History and sources
Carpets and floorings are an integral part of Indian homes.
Carpets are generally made from wool and silk. However
floorings like mats and durries are made up of a variety of
material, ranging from wool, cotton, jute, coir, bamboo and
grass.
One can trace the origins of carpet weaving tradition in India
to the Mughal dynasty. It is said that when Babur came to
India, he was disappointed by lack of luxuries here. He
missed the luxuries of Persia, which included the Persian
carpet. Akbar laid the foundation of carpet weaving tradition
in India, in 1580 AD, when he brought some carpet weavers

from Persia, at his palace in Agra. With their support he

established carpet weavings centers at Agra, Delhi and
Lahore to facilitate production of Persian styled carpets,
which were inspired by designs of Kirman, Kashan, Isfahan,
Herat, etc.
Mughals not only used the Persian technique of carpet
weaving, but were also influenced by traditional designs and
motifs from Persia. Mughal carpets were as intricate as their
miniatures and often depicted court life, animals and floral
decorations. Mughal carpets were brightly coloured and the
hand knotted silk carpets had 4224 knots per square inch.

HANDICRAFT IN AGRA
Agra is also known for its fabulous handicrafts, made of
marble and softstone inlay work. The Mughals were great
patrons of arts and crafts. Empress Nur Jahan took personal
interest and was an accomplished artist herself in zari
embroidery work. Agra's major handicraft products besides
inlay work are : leatherware, brassware, carpets, jewellery
and embroidery work. Agra is also well known for its sweets
'petha' and 'Gazak' and saltish snack 'Dalmoth. The main
shopping areas of the city are Sadar Bazar, Kinari Bazar,
Raja-ki-Mandi, Sanjay Place and the Taj Mahal Complex.

CONCLUSIONS

1.

It is a Small Scale enterprise.

2.

It cannot provide medical and insurance facilities to the workers

unless it becomes a proper organized firm.

3.

Since it is small scale enterprise it cannot spend more on transport
