Moonj

Moonj grass is primarily harvested in Uttar Pradesh, particularly in the districts of Prayagraj, Mirzapur and nearby rural areas. It is known for its strong fibres and vibrant visual appeal. Moonj craft involves a unique technique of coiling dyed grass around a base grass core. This creates colourful patterns and sturdy shapes.

Moonj artisans typically make roti baskets, kitchen organisers, fruit baskets, coasters and wall plates. The bright colours reflect the cultural vibrance of North India. Women artisans play a significant role in Moonj weaving, and Bhartiye Crafts supports them by ensuring regular orders, fair pricing and exposure to national markets. By choosing Moonj products, customers help uplift entire rural families.
