What is Water Hyacinth Craft? 

Water hyacinth craft is a beautiful example of how Indian artisans turn environmental challenges into meaningful creations. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an aquatic plant that grows rapidly on ponds, lakes, and rivers across India. While it is considered an invasive weed that blocks waterways and harms aquatic life, its dried stems become a valuable natural material for handicrafts.

In regions like Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, Tripura, and the North-East, local artisan communities harvest the plant, clean it, sun-dry the stems, and weave them into useful, durable products. This process not only supports sustainable living but also helps reduce the spread of the weed in water bodies.

The craft has evolved into a major livelihood for many rural artisans, who skillfully transform water hyacinth into stylish and functional items.
