About
A bamboo-basketry craft using ringal, a thin Himalayan hill bamboo species, split and woven into baskets, mats, and containers used in daily hill life.
Did you know? Ringal grows only at high altitude on steep Himalayan slopes, so harvesting it is itself a skilled, physically demanding part of the craft, done entirely by hand without machinery.
