Punjab's traditional arts and crafts industry has become a shadow of what it used to be due to the growth of industrial mills. However, its handcrafted textiles, leather products and carpets can still be found in pockets across the state.
While its toy market is flooded with Chinese-made goods, a simple wooden or tin-made toy tractor, car, aeroplane or bulldozer crafted by local artisans in Punjab's villages not only help to keep this industry alive, but also liven up your home with memories embedded in their material.
