The tribal communities around Atei Jungle have preserved ancient craft traditions using clay, wood, bamboo and natural colors inspired by wildlife and forest life.
Handmade clay figures of animals, deities, ritual objects, and daily-use items are crafted using traditional firing techniques passed down for generations. The artisans source fine natural clay from forest and riverbeds, carefully preparing it through soaking, kneading, and hand-molding without the use of machines.Each terracotta piece reflects the close relationship between forest life and tribal belief systems. Motifs inspired by wildlife such as elephants, deer, birds, and forest spirits are commonly represented, symbolizing protection, fertility, and harmony with nature..
Bamboo baskets, wooden sculptures and leaf-based art showcase eco-friendly craftsmanship and sustainable living.
Supported by Forest Department initiatives, artisan groups gain livelihood while preserving indigenous culture.
