    Pottery, embroidery and weaving in Haryana

    Pottery

    Pottery is one of the most popular occupations in the rural parts of Haryana.
    Since the state mainly has a rural economy so this popular form of craft is considered with much importance in Haryana.
    The unique feature of the earthenware is that they are painted with rich and bright colors.
    Pottery involves the main potter and a helper who will help him to prepare the mix. These works are generally done by the men of the village.
    After these earthenware are given shape, bright and colorful patterns are painted on them. This work is generally done by a female member of the potter's family.
    Thus Pottery in Haryana involves a collective effort of many people.
