Mask Shop - Women Empower - Indian Economy

Mukhosh Gram in Purulia, West Bengal, is a renowned hub of traditional mask-making, specifically for the UNESCO-recognized Chhau dance. Over 300 artisan families, mostly from the Sutradhar community, create intricate paper-mache masks using clay, cloth, and paint for home decor, featuring characters from mythology and often fierce demon masks.
