Kolkata's Wooden Sandesh Moulds: A Dying Art

In Kolkata, there are shops where artisans carve beautiful wooden moulds for making sandesh, a type of sweet.

This craft has been passed down for generations, but it's getting harder to keep it going because fewer people want to learn it and there aren't as many orders as before.

The wooden moulds make the sandesh look really nice, and the patterns on them tell stories about Bengal's history and culture.

Even though it's a slow and careful job, some sweet shops still prefer using these wooden moulds.
