 *) - Folk Crafts of Himachal Pradesh

(#23 - Inder Jeet Bhanoo)

The Pahadi handkerchiefs enjoys a special place among the handicrafts of the area. These handkerchiefs are produced in the Chamba, Kangra, Mandi, Bilaspur and and Kulu areas. Originally the art came to Chamba from Basohli and the king Samarchand of kangra helped it grow and spread all over the region.The Handkerchief has come to be known as the Chamba handkerchief and it is said that this art was patronised by King  Rajsingh and his queen Sharda of Chamba. These handkerchiefs  are made of square or oblong pieces of cloth and are embroidered all over with silken threads. The embroidery depicts scenes from the life of the Lord Krishna and the Puranas.

Dyeing and printing of fabrics has been a traditional craft in the area. This work is done traditionally by the Farahada and the Chhiba people. The long knee length gown worn by he Gaddi women known as Juan chadiyan and their Chola (a white woolen garment ) are good examples of this art. Fine gold ornaments are also crafted by the local gold-smiths. The jewellery by the woman of Kulu, Sirmaur, Kinnaur, Pangwati and Bharmor region is very attractive. The Dom tribe in the area is well-known for producing fine house hold articles made of bamboo which are painted  in brilliant colours. They produce boxes, sofas, chairs, baskets, racks and several articles of daily use. Leather craft is highly developed and the slippers and shoes made in Chamba are in great demand. Presenting the bride and the groom with gold embroidered slippers at the time of a wedding signifies good taste. But now people are using shoes, mass produced in factories and so this art is slowly dying out. The custom of embellishing the body with tattoo patterns is common in the Himachal.
