Handicrafts of India

अभिनन्दन from Gaatha

Gaatha project was originally conjured only for researching and documenting the rapid erosion of Indian craft clusters and heritage. However, we soon learnt from the artisans themselves that need was not to do research alone, but to restore ‘pride and serious commercial opportunity’ in their ecosystem. Today Gaatha thus aims to bring the lost respect and wealth back to these beautiful and aesthetically rich Indian handicraft clusters. These researches are important because just like Industrial goods sell on ‘features’, crafts sell on the processes / stories / heritage that go into making them.

We should give crafts a fair chance, someone is right now merrily making something for us, singing a folk song, in a humble house, deep inside India.

Several millennia ago when humanity was still finding its foothold on earth, crafts emerged from an alliance between mankind and nature. After thousands of years, when the successors of these crafts are finding it tough to sustain and continue with their traditional practices, Gaatha has started with an aim of creating a family of the heirs and protectors of the knowledge, across the globe. Our journey so far has filled us with more energy to continue.
As a guest writer, Gaatha also invites you to write craft stories for our readers.
