Chhattisgarh Handicrafts

The Chhattisgarh Sanskriti is

famous for the several handicrafts

and different tribal festivals in the

different regions of Chhattisgarh.

The different categories of Chhattisgarh handicraft items

which represent the culture of Chhattisgarh are: • Paintings

• Wood Carving

• Bamboo Work

• Cotton Fabrics

The raw material which is utilised for making the

handicrafts is sourced entirely from the

surrounding environment.

The most important ones are dhokra and wrought iron,

which can be easily obtained from recycled scrap, wood

and sisal from the neighbouring forests and marshes,

and terracotta from the riverbeds.

The tourists can easily see the

reflection of the cultural legacy of

the people in the crafts made by

them in the exquisite shapes and

forms of the handicrafts.

These artisans get the frequent references from the

local mythology, rituals, religion and folklore. The

unique quality of rawness in the finish adds to the

rustic appeal of the Chhattisgarh Handicrafts.

These handicrafts truly reflect the very essence of

Chhattisgarh which is simple and tradition.

The beautiful nature’s colour and pleasure with all its

remarkable effects have left a mark on the imagination and

creativity of the people. They learn to live in harmony

within themselves and do not attempt to dominate or

outwit the natural forces.

Bastar, Kondagaon, Nagarnar and Raigarh are

some of the areas which are famous for

Chhattisgarh handicrafts.

All available natural resources are utilised to their

optimum potential by the tribal people for

manufacturing the best product. They have years of

experiences in manufacturing the objects of daily use to

surpass their original function.

Bastar is only one region in

Chhattisgarh where master

craftsmen produce the best

exquisite handicrafts.

In the heart of the country lies the state of

Chhattisgarh. The state is rich in natural beauties like

profusely lush forests, refreshing springs and

waterfalls, mysterious caves and unusual rock

formations.

All these features have made it a home to several

culturally rich tribal societies and unique

communities.
