The potters’ village in Delhi’s Uttam Nagar is keeping Indian craftsmanship alive.
Kumhar Gram is an oasis of peace in the midst of the Capital’s hustle and bustle. Located in Uttam Nagar, West Delhi, this is also where around 800 families have been practicing and excelling in the art of pottery since the time of their ancestors.
Most homes in Kumhar Gram also have a shop selling finished products on the outside.
Families here rely on old techniques to manually craft clay products, such as using the rudimentary potter’s wheel, till date.
Surplus goods are produced during winters and stored in the houses waiting to be sold during summer, which is usually peak season for clay drinking water pots.
