Make
Fold, stick, tie and paint — crafts have kept Bhārat's festivals alive for centuries.
Hands-on craft projects inspired by Bhārat's festivals, toys and traditions — using paper, cloth, clay and things you can find in your kitchen.
Bhārat is famous for this — and so can you be
Every great craft has a story. These are the things make is best known for across Bhārat's heritage.
Channapatna toys
Karnataka's wooden toys, coloured with natural lac — made for 200 years with no nails, no screws and no sharp edges.
Kite-making
Paper kites rule the skies of Uttarayan and Makar Sankranti — a craft that turns a sheet of paper into a flying festival.
Rangoli
Floor art of coloured powders, rice and petals, drawn at every doorstep to welcome guests and gods.
Lanterns & torans
Paper lanterns, flower garlands and door hangings that turn every home into a celebration of Bhārat.
Patchwork & kantha
Bengal's quilted storytelling — old saris stitched into warm, beautiful blankets of memory.
Fold a paper boat
The paper boat is Bhārat's favourite toy — it floats on every puddle after the rains. Fold one, write your name on it, and set it sailing. Then try a paper lantern for Diwali!
