The Craft Tradition
Known as
Varanasi Wooden Craft
Varanasi and Agra are centres of wooden toy-making in Uttar Pradesh. Artisans craft smooth rattles, spinning tops, and animal figurines from seasoned wood, finished with natural beeswax — safe for the youngest children.
Cultural Significance
"Wooden toys from Varanasi are offered at temples and given as blessings to newborns. The craft is intertwined with the city's spiritual identity."
