                           Basket Weavers




Basket Weaving is a major art form in Goa. Similar to other crafts in the state, this craft also exhibits a blend of Portuguese and Indian style.

Goa being a famous tourist destination, its beaches feature restaurants constructed in the style of huts belonging to the fishermen and farmers. These structures make heavy use of bamboo weaving. Apart from general purpose baskets and mats, this craft is used for making decorative products like flower baskets, letter-holder, pen stands and fans. These products serve as a valuable souvenir to the tourists.
