arts and handicrafts

When it comes to the richness of art and culture, West Bengal stands out to be one of the most unique and diverse states. The various foreign reigns have highly influenced the art and architecture of the state. However, Bengal prides itself on the imprint which it carries beyond the foreign influences, ancient and modern. 

The exquisitely printed and woven clothes, pottery, beadwork, tribal art, and embroidery work resonate with the folklore and festivals of the state. People of India are fond of Gujarati jewellery, furniture, patola sarees, embroidered items, mirror work, and baked clay articles among other things.
