Cane & Bamboo Handicrafts
From
time immemorial Tripura has carved out a name for itself in the field of Handicrafts.
The Gifted artisans produce wonderful objects of crafts from simple material
like cane, bamboo & wood. There rare artistic skill has not been streamlined
in the manufacture of exquisite household pieces. Tripura's unique topography
and the gracious nature bestowed their choicest blessings on the hereditary
artisans of Tripura. Here three distinct cultures viz.
Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam have converged together to give shape and content
to a unique tradition that found eloquent expression through immemorable work
of art & crafts made out of very simple materials like cane, bamboo, clay,
wood, palm leaf etc. With the passage of time, there has been changes in the
demographic character of the state. But in each phase of her history, Tripura
has shown remarkable inner strength of assimilation of synthesis, while retaining
her own traditional heritage. With the original distinct tribal motifs were
added the skills of Manipuri and Bengali artisans who came subsequently to settle
in this land. Time has changed and so also the quick adaptability of our gifted
artisans who never failed to respond to the demands of contemporary tastes.
