Maharashtra
is the proud home to various different artistic techniques that have
flourished under many rulers including the Marathas, the Mughals and the
British. The state has a long and varied tradition of art and crafts from
the paintings at Ajanta dating
back to many hundreds of years to today's Warli paintings. Another known
craft of the state is the Worli folk paintings. The legendary beauty of
the Paithani silk saris, the intricate silver inlay craft of Bidriware,
which reached its culmination under the Mughals, and the beautifully woven
silk Himroo and Mashru shawls, the craft of Lacquerware in Sawantwadi
continue to cast their spell on visitors. Kolhapur
is famous for jewellery designed in traditional patterns of the Marathas
and the Peshwas. The city is also known for its hand-made leather sandals
or chappals, which are popular throughout the world for their simple
styles, quality of leather and design.
