A Tour Taking Through the Rich Odyssey of the Indian Handicrafts

India, the magnificent treasure trove of handicrafts, got its roots in the ancient times of the Harappa civilization almost 5000 years before. This was the first phase of the Indian handicraft sector. Traces of earthen pots, jewelry, paintings, sculptures and textiles were also found during the Vedic age. And the intrinsic carvings on temples and caves gave glimpses of those ancient times. The art of handicrafts advanced in the medieval phase when kings took a particular interest in crafts. The Guptas and the Mughals were important dynasties that gave a new shape to the handicraft industry. In the third phase, during the Britishers period, the industry suffered as the emergence of suppressing local crafts by Britishers began. Soon after India's independence, measures were undertaken to uplift the situation of the artisans and craftsmen of our country.
