Mysore/Mysuru: The Medar community, known for its traditional bamboo craftsmanship, has been creating household articles for decades. Their products — winnows, baskets, brooms, flower vases and more — continue to find use in homes across the State and country. Yet, despite their artistry, the community lacks proper spaces to sell their wares.
Bamboo weavers are often seen working along city footpaths, exposed to rain, sun and cold. Even as lifestyles evolve with technology, the Medars continue their age-old tradition, earning a livelihood solely through the sale of bamboo products.
