Handloom
Handloom is the oldest industry in Tripura. The tribal women of Tripura are devoted to weaving and every girl is taught this artform from a young age. This ritual, passed on from generation to generation, has become an integral part of their lives.
Handloom is among the most famous crafts of Tripura, and is characterized by the horizontal and vertical stripes of differently-coloured threads and distributed embroidery. The tribal inhabitants of Tripura wear hand-made handloom clothes that are fabricated with unique designs, masterly colour combinations and long-lasting texture.

Over the years, artisans have created beautiful wooden interior decor as well, including trays, statues, lamp shades and utensils. Woodcraft comes adorned with intricate detailing as well, enhancing their overall appearance.
Cane and Bamboo Handicrafts

Some of the famous handicrafts of Tripura are handbags, fans, lamp shades, pot containers and table mats, among others. The cane and bamboo craft of Tripura are also exported to various countries, where they are in great demand.
Baskets
Baskets are one of the most important Tripura bamboo handicrafts. The famous open-weave and closed-weave baskets are made with a special chain technique that gives them the unique texture and sturdiness. These bamboo baskets can be used to store household items such as toiletries and jewellery, among others.
Furniture
Fabricated using split cane and bamboo, a Tripura ‘mudha’ is a low-rise stool used in many households. The skilled artisans use bamboo for the body and rim structure, and split cane for the seat. Split cane is also used to bind all the elements of the stool together, ensuring it is strong enough to hold the weight.
