CANE & BAMBOO

Cane & Bamboo are two very useful forest products to be found in Bengal households. Various types of handicraft products including woven and/or assembled baskets, decorative trays, lamp- sheds, tea tables, screens & hangings etc. are made from cane and bamboo and are widely used inside the country & abroad. From the depths of time and the earliest chapters of civilization, comes a craft that endures. Bengal’s very own tradition of creating everyday and fancy articles from bamboo and cane is rich and varied. Artisans who cater to more urban and sophisticated markets are centred in and around Purba Bardhaman.
