| The district of Kangra is quite adept at various crafts and arts. The Kangra school of paintings is an integral part of art literature; they are miniature paintings made with vegetable dyes worthily based on love themes of Radha and Krishna. One can find influence of this style of paintings in other handicrafts too. The art of embroidery is based on it and covers handkerchiefs, scarves, shawls, kurtas etc. The rugs, carpets and blankets too bear beautiful and colorful designs. Even the ponies of the area wear multicolored carpet saddles. The other school of painting that survive in the district is the Gompa school. At one time, it was confined only to the monasteries, today you can find many articles of clothing and household materials based on these painting styles. One part of it is completely Buddhist and as original in form as before. Another part of this painting style has combined the Kangra school and what we get to see is a mixture or combination of the two. The typical and varied dressing styles of the people of Kangra can be seen in the dolls that can be seen in the markets. The dolls are life like and beautiful and the traditional costumes are exquisite. The most common tribe to be found here is the Gaddi tribe. These people are simple and content. They are Hindus and are semi – nomadic who lead a hard and adventurous life. |
