- India's rich crafts and textiles celebrate togetherness, humanity, resilience, and support. Each handicraft has magnificent men and women behind its success, their stories, their passions spanning lifetimes as they talk of the work by hand that has been passed to them through generations. The crafts define the existence of the artisans on the secular fabric of a richly woven heritage. The history of Indian arts and handicrafts is versatile, resilient, and very ancient. The Vedas give references to various crafts made during that age. The history of Indian crafts and textiles can be traced to the Indus Valley Civilization when pottery, sculpture, and weaving saw a high degree of technical finesse.
