Terracotta Craft Stores

Terracotta is one of the oldest art forms originated in India. It is considered as the instance of Indian religious expression conveyed through clay. In present days, the work of terracotta has become popular even in the ladies ornaments. Therefore, Terracotta Craft Stores are now the common places to go for the buyers around the world. Among the terracotta producing states in India, West Bengal has perhaps the best and the oldest tradition of terracotta. Bankura, a rural district in West Bengal, is famous for terracotta. The original terracotta is found there at the Terracotta Craft Stores in Bankura. Among the statues of terracotta produced in Bankura, the horse is the most renowned of all.
This horse is also the logo of the Central Cottage Industries Corporation of India (C.C.I.C) in New Delhi. In making terracotta crafts, bankura is not the lone place in West Bengal. Some of the best terracottas are seen in Murshidabad, Birbhum, Hooghly and Digha. The style is essentially folk and designs are highly expressive.

Terracotta Craft Stores are widely seen in Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, because, like Bankura, Uttar Pradesh is also known for its ornately decorated terracotta horse. But, there are some minute differences between the horses of Bankura and that of Uttar Pradesh. One, who has some knowledge of Indian regional art forms, can easily differentiate these two forms from each other.
Most of the Indian Craft Stores bare the exclusive collections of terracotta crafts. Through these craft stores you can have a full view on Indian society, culture and its religious background. Indian craft stores include timeless exotic Indian paintings, authentic handworks, statues and sculptures, Indian jewelry, traditional toys and many more.

The following markets house the Terracotta Craft Stores:
  • Shilparamam in Hyderabad
  • Dilli Haat in Delhi
  • Johari Bazaar in Jaipur, Rajasthan
  • Swabhumi in Kolkata
