Cane or rattan is a climbing plant with joined stems. The stems are dried after removing the green sheath. This is extraordinarily strong. Cane sticks are twisted together and used as cables and cordage in country crafts. Mudas are made of bamboo and cane and are an important item of export made in many parts of Haryana. The traditional muda has undergone many changes in design and style. The seat is often artistically woven out of jute strings to make it more durable. The well-known mudas of Haryana are traditionally made out of the locally available sarkando and munj grass.
