Chiraiya is a Hindi-derived word which commonly means bird but is often associated with sparrows as well. Birds, in Indian culture, hold great significance.

Often represented as vehicles of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, birds also stand as a symbol of freedom, hope and new beginnings.

Indigenous to the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha, the folk art form of Pattachitra is a reflection of India’s glorious past.

The artists - who are called Patuas - have immortalised religious, mythical, and folklore instances in scrolls of fabric.

They use bright bold natural colours and a distinctive art style that is rooted in rural tradition. In a traditional performance, the Patuas unfurl the scroll as they sing their Pater Gaan and mesmerise the audience as they transport them to a land of myth and legends.

Bamboo weaving as an art form has been around since the dawn of time. It originated as a way to make household items and utilitarian products, which has now evolved into intricately handcrafted art pieces.

The use of bamboo products is still quite widespread due to its association with auspicious occasions, weddings, and kitchens.

Several districts of West Bengal, like Malda, etc. are known for their bamboo crafts. Much like woven bamboo, bamboo crafts are interwoven in our culture and heritage.

The fine woodwork and workmanship of Saharanpur, India, are well-known all over the world.

There is a long tradition of the city manufacturing exquisitely carved wooden furniture and home decor. Local artisans are skilled in techniques like inlay work, lattice designs, and carving, often using Sheesham (Indian Rosewood) and other quality woods.

The intricate designs, superior craftsmanship, and rich cultural past of Saharanpur's woodwork set it apart from other regional crafts.
