Arts And Crafts

The major craft in this state is mask making by the Buddhist tribes, carpets, painted wooden vessels, silver articles, cane and bamboo work, shawls and jackets, and shoulder bags. Monpas, the Buddhist community, are specialists in carpet weaving, with exotic designs of geometric and floral patterns and dragons. Other crafts include making religious images, figures of dancers, toys, and ornaments like multicolored beads, bamboo bangles and earrings, and papers for religious prayers.
