Nataraja Statue
This is just when you need to take house from India that would support you remember the spirituality and culturally rich country. The Lord Shiva Nataraja Statue is considered to be a best piece for the home altar and perfect among the Indian gifts . The Idol of Nataraja dancing can be either used to worship or for just decorating the house. Other than this, it is also a famous sculptural symbol in country and popularity used as a symbol of Indian culture.
Puppets
Puppetry is a very old art in India for storytelling and a perfect example of Indian gifts. The art of making Rajasthan puppets is maintained by Bhats. This community not just makes puppets but also do folkores with them. It is trusted that King Vikramaditya of Ujjain, who ruled in one century BC had 32 talking dolls in his court, thus it can be guessed that the art of making puppets is quite old in country. The unique Rajasthani puppets are made of soft wood, which is carved and then furnished with fabrics that have Rajasthan origin. The Puppeteers live in Ajmer, Bikaner, Nagaur, Jaipur, and Udaipur but wander all through Rajasthan performing and selling their dolls.
Blue Pottery
Another well-known art from Rajasthan is that of Blue Pottery. Differing from the usual method of pottery, this art needs the combine of quartz stone powder, powdered glass and fullers earth. Blue pottery is perfect for house decoration; every little and huge item is a masterpiece in itself that includes a perfect flavor to your homes decoration. You can purchase pieces of pots, surahis, and cylindrical jars, decorative items like flower pots, tiles, ash-trays, beads, lamp stands, jugs, soap dishes, door knobs and mugs.
Tribal Jewellery
Tribal jewellery from Jharkhand is unique as it is one of the major interests of the tribes and secondly the art is extraordinary and less known about. As much as the tribal people like creating jewellery they enjoy beautifying themselves with it too. The big jewellery would be earnings, neck pieces, and ornaments worn on the wrists and other parts of the arm. Bell-metal, brass, gold and silver are largely used to make jewellery by the tribes.
