Chhattisgarh
This is a destination that often escapes the culture-seeking tourist’s radar. Chhattisgarh, located in the heart of India, is home to a distinct tribal culture. The community distinguishes itself by way of a unique headdress that resembles the horns of a wild bison. The state’s people engage in arts and crafts that are coveted all over the country: Bastar kosa sarees, terracotta, wood and bamboo crafts, and dhokra, or bell metal art. The Mahant Ghasidas Sangrahalaya in Raipur curates archaeological finds, and the Purkhauti Muktangan is an open-air art museum-cum-park showcasing artefacts and tribal culture. chhattisgarhtourism.in
