One of the most beautiful and simple examples of local crafts in India are the clay pots, vases, and decor items that people bought from the roadsides. There used to be clay pots to cool water in, small ‘gullacks’ made of clay, and even tiny camels and elephant figurines for the home decor. But now, instead of buying from the local shops, people prefer buying copper vases, or glass decors online for the sake of ease and to eliminate the bargaining. But, it is high time that we circle back to the local crafts and ways, and take up buying local to promote their livelihood and be kinder to nature.
