Crafts Map of Kerala

Experience Kerala, the land of coconuts, one of India's most beautiful and environmental friendly states. Cacessed by the Aabian Sea on its long shoreline on the West, its narrow interior an adventure of waterways waiting to be explored, Kerala rises on its eastern side through tropical forests and cubber, tea and coffee plantations to the thick, verdant mountainous terrain of the Western Ghats. A land of a mosaic of all the religions of India. The major crafts of Kerala reflect the resources of the rich tropical landscape of the state and the simplicity of form preferred by keralites. Major crafts are fibre woven stonework, wood carving, including wooden chests, costume and mask making, boat fabrication, coconut shell craft and coir, fresco painting and fine jewellery. Crafts in ritual have a high degree of innovations and excellence.
