Delhi's Potters: Preserving Heritage, Facing Challenges

Imagine a village in Delhi where everyone makes things out of clay, like pots and lamps.

This village is called Kumhar Gram, and the people there are potters.

They came from Rajasthan a long time ago and have been making pottery for generations.

They sell their creations everywhere!

But it's not always easy.

They have to compete with cheaper, factory-made items and deal with rules about pollution.

The potters work hard, and they want their kids to learn the craft too, even though they struggle with costs and market access.

The women of the village also contribute to the pottery making and passing down the knowledge.

They hope to make more money and share their art with more people.
