Ghazipur Wall Hanging of Uttar Pradesh

Ghazipur wall hangings are interior décor items that are handcrafted in the small city of Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. These traditional handloom products are woven by skilled craftspeople using a blend of different colors. They combine different yarns including jute and cotton to ensure not only strength but also an unusual unique texture. The use of differing textures also forms a part of the presentation of the patterning and design. These Ghazipur wall decorative hangings are woven on the handloom and their intricate patterning, colors and designs have a wide appeal. A large range of designs bears testimony to the skill of the weavers from representation of figures of Hindu gods and goddesses to intricate and detailed landscape arts with patterns of houses, lawns, forests, interiors, birds and animals.
