About this product

Wood Carving is one of the most important crafts in Gujarat. Decoration of wooden pieces by carving certain figures and figurines of gods and goddesses were very common in that age. Excavations at Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa have acquiesced evidence of primitive Indian woodcrafts.Ludiya, a small village in Kachchh, is renowned for artistic wood carving. The Harijan community living in Dumaro and Ludiya are master craftsmen in carving wood. They use teak or the locally available wood for their craft. These craftsmen are skilled in carving both, minute geometrical and floral patterns. Architectural elements like jharukha (overhanging balconies) and doors, furniture items like stools, cradles, bedposts and cot legs, and kitchenware have been produced using this exquisite carving technique. Geometric and floral shapes are cut in a way that the raised portions create symmetrical patterns. The craft was languishing as traditional utility wooden carved products were losing the market demand. It has now been revived and contemporary products like sofa sets, book racks, magazine holders and lampshades are popular today
