Pottery artifacts from Manipur in Dilli Haat

These are the artistic works with pottery from the North eastern state of India, Manipur. It is exhibited at Dilli Haat, a permanent handicraft bazaar in New Delhi. It is situated opposite to the INA market and is a Delhi Tourism undertaking.

The speciality of Manipur pottery is that it is crafted without a potter’s wheel. It is a beautiful experience to witness the potters of the state deftly moulding an unbelievable range of earthenware.

The craft of pottery is very old in Manipur and flourishes in Andro, Thongjao, Nungbi and parts of Senapati districts.
