@dsourceindia Allahabad, located in Uttar Pradesh, is blessed with rich alluvial soil, thanks to the Yamuna River, making it an ideal region for terracotta craftsmanship. The clay here has high plasticity, perfect for both pottery wheel work and hand-moulded idols. Artisans from the Prajapathi community, who have been practicing this traditional craft for over 50 years, create unique and matchless clay products. Every idol is distinct, reflecting floral motifs, divine imagery, and scenes from daily life and nature, beautifully captured on clay tiles and sculptures. This video highlights the artistry and heritage of Allahabad’s terracotta craft, where tradition meets creativity in every handmade piece.
