🌱 The Story of Sikki Craft:

• Material: The pot is woven from Sikki Grass (often called Golden Grass for its natural, rich yellowish hue) which grows wild in the marshy plains of Bihar.

• Technique: Skilled women artisans use a long iron needle, called a 'Takua', to tightly coil and stitch the Sikki grass around a base (often Moonj or Khar grass) to create a sturdy, durable structure.

• Heritage: Sikki craft is deeply rooted in the culture of Bihar. These pieces were traditionally used in festivals, weddings, and rituals, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.
