As one travels through India as a wandering crafts’ enthusiast, one finds the most amazing pieces of handicrafts. Almost without exception, when I start to think I’ve seen it all, I find myself being drawn into a mesmerizing vortex of intricate motifs, perfectly balanced patterns, earthy textures, meaningful layers and clashing yet harmonious colours all made by village folk in remote corners of the ocean of humanity that is India.
Like a sponge, I find myself soaking-up in humble earnestness, as quickly as I can, the appreciation for the mastery of the ancient crafts, being sustained and passed on as a priceless legacy, by devoted artisans that make it their life’s purpose, entirely devoid of selfish pursuit of either wealthy or glory. Dignified custodians of a rich heritage.
