History
 
  • Printer-friendly version

Batuas, which are one of the identities of the heritage city, also reflects the traditions and culture of Bhopal. The craft links itself to the early tribal culture, which made beautiful ornaments from wood, shells, metal, ivory and bones. This traditional skill later caught the eye of the Begums (Muslim women rulers) of Bhopal, who supported the craft and gave it a Persian touch. They used it for carrying cloves, betel nuts and other mouth fresheners. It was also used to keep currency. Today, the traces of the craft can also be found in fashion accessories, dress materials, wall hangings, lamb shades, bags and other decorative items.
