Arts and crafts of Karnataka have always been an inseparable part of people's lives. The state is renowned for traditional methods of producing items like Mysore paintings, Mysore silk, and stone carvings. These creations reflect the skill, aesthetic sensibilities, and decorative abilities of the craftsperson, often preserved through royal patronage and government support.
Many craft traditions have been handed down from parents to children, ensuring continuity and perfection.
