Hi! I am close to Mysore and would love to visit Melukote. Which is the place you went to see the khadi weavers? Is the town worth a visit? Thank you!

Well spotted. Very fluid review and quiet informative. There are many artisans are unknown. Their work takes lot of preserverance,aethetics and artistry. Thanks for bringing forward the hidden people

And the tables are soooo affordable for grown ups that need stuff for their houses – it’s what you’d pay for a basic one from a furniture store!

Great artisans! I particularly liked the intricate design of that table. India is a fascinating country indeed.

This was another one of my favourite places in India, and especially for the artisans. Travelling with the family, this was a great “low intensity” attraction to take my parents to!!

In reply to Justine. I'd never thought about incense like that either, it was so fun! I want to try to make my own.

SO cool! That must have been amazing to see it all still being done by hand. I love seeing true craftspeople doing their thing. This would totally make the tour worth it for me.

I was just in Singapore’s Little India and one of my favorite parts of visiting any Little India is watching people string together garlands of fresh flowers. I’m always impressed by how much time and effort it takes to make them. I’ve also never thought about how incense is made. How interesting to get a glimpse into how labor intensive and detail-oriented all of these crafts are!
