राज्य अनुसार कला · State-wise Art
Banarasi weaving's gold-thread brocade silk from Varanasi and Lucknow's white-on-white chikankari embroidery represent two entirely different textile techniques, yet both rank among the most recognized handloom and embroidery traditions in the country.
Saharanpur's sheesham wood carving supplies furniture and screens across the state, and Moradabad's brasswork and Firozabad's glass bangles round out a state whose craft economy runs through metal and wood as much as cloth.
