Sights and sounds of Shilparamam

Shilparamam is not just a place for handicrafts but is a whole world in itself. Apart from handbags, clay models of Buddha, traditional craftsmen going about their job, the place exudes a vibrant life. There is a lot to do at the crafts village than just buy handicrafts. One can go on a joy ride on a bullock cart, take a boat ride and get one’s portrait done within minutes. For those who are stressed out, a walk down the crafts village amidst huts constructed out of clay and thatch and visit to the rural museum are worth it. The Hans India lensman Srinivas Setty captures the mood at Shilparamam
