Bamboo and cane basketry is an intrinsic part of everyday life in Nagaland. The traditional basketry that creates products of utility and ritual use is marked by fine detailing and varied and intricate weaves.

With changes in lifestyle and the invasion of technology, the knowledge of basket weaving has diminished and is now confined to just a few artisans. This multi-media module stresses the need to preserve this unique treasure of knowledge.
