In Assam and Bengal,the manufacture of baskets and mats are synonymous with this area of India. Assam is rich in raw materials leading to the creation of some exceptionally beautiful bamboo crafts. Musical instruments, baskets, hukkas and mugs are just a small sample of end the bamboo product.

However, the most aristocratic and delicate mats in the world are manufactured in Kerala. Attractive square bamboo boxes in a black and white design.
