A Masterful Craft of Rural Bengal

Depicts a typical rural market scene, where various products made of bamboo and cane are displayed. It is a living exhibition of our folk culture and craftsmanship. These products are very essential for agricultural and household purposes. Special utensils used for fishing such as 'Khalai' or 'Chai' and 'Kula' for threshing grains are one of the main attractions of this industry. Due to the easy availability of plastic, aluminum and steel products in modern times, this traditional bamboo industry is currently facing a crisis of existence.
