Climate Change Impacts Traditional Craft Practices in Assam and Kutch
Artisans in Assam and Kutch are facing challenges as climate change disrupts traditional craft practices. Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and ecological shifts affect materials like bamboo, clay, and natural dyes, complicating processes such as mask making and ajrakh textile production. These changes extend drying times, reduce resource availability, and increase costs, prompting craftspeople to adapt to preserve their cultural heritage amid evolving environmental conditions.
