Coconut Shell, Fiber and Stem Craft of Tamil Nadu

Craft Revival Trust

The use of coconut shell, fiber and stem is a traditional art form in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The parts of the coconut plant are transformed into a range of products, including baskets, mats, ropes, and household items. The techniques used to create these products are traditional and often passed down from generation to generation. The coconut shell, fiber, and stem craft is an important part of the local economy and cultural heritage in coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, where coconuts are abundant. The skill and craftsmanship required to create these products is highly valued and is often passed down from generation to generation. In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and promote this ancient art form, which has faced challenges from modernization and commercialization, for future generations.
