Terracotta is one of the oldest craft that human beings ever introduced on the earth.

It was once considered to be poor man’s craft but in due course of time it has made its ascent due to its aesthetic value and occupied a distinct identity among all classes of people. Artisans use potters’ wheels to make different shapes by using their own hands. The raw materials used in this craft are Ram-Ras Mitti and Gerua Mitti. After the completion it is then burned on coal. This is a unique product handcrafted by artisans. This craft provides livelihood support to families of about 300-500 artisans on regular basis in Darbhanga and Madhubani districts of Bihar.
