Odisha's traditional Appliqué craft, known as 'Chandua,' involves stitching decorative fabric pieces onto a base cloth to create vibrant patterns and motifs. Recognized with a GI tag in 2008, this heritage art is beautifully showcased in striking items like umbrellas and lampshades—blending functionality, tradition, and timeless craftsmanship.
Golden Grass handicrafts, made from naturally golden-hued Kaincha grass found in Odisha's wetlands, are eco-friendly, lightweight, and biodegradable. Women artisans skillfully weave baskets, boxes, mats, and more—creating sustainable decor. This craft supports rural livelihoods, empowers women, and showcases Odisha’s heritage in global and local markets.
While jute was traditionally grown in Bengal, Odisha has long used natural fibers for rope, mats, and utility crafts. In the late 20th century, jute gained popularity in Odisha through rural development and women’s empowerment programs. In Baleshwar, women artisans began crafting eco-friendly products like folders, bags, coasters, and wall hangings—blending tradition with sustainable innovation.
Odisha’s rich stone craft legacy is seen in iconic temples like Konark and Lingaraj. Baleshwar artisans have contributed to major temples in India and abroad—including Akshardham, ISKCON, and Ram Mandir—reaching as far as Malaysia, Fiji, and Germany.
Sabai Grass, once used for ropes and paper, evolved into a traditional craft in Northern Odisha, especially Baleshwar. In Baliapal, women-led clusters now weave it into baskets, mats, and coasters, supporting community livelihoods.
Soft toy making in Odisha has become a key livelihood, led by women SHGs in districts like Baleshwar, Mayurbhanj, and Khurda. Using cotton, jute, and recycled materials, artisans create dolls, animals, and decor, blending tradition with sustainability.
