A local Mudda seller
The Ganga Project » Garh Mukteshwar, Uttar Pradesh
Description
A local mudda seller with different products made from Sarkanda grass. While the thicker parts of this grass are used to make stools or muddas, the outer skin is used as thatch. The top half, tuli, is made into baskets and the leafy covering, moonj, is beaten into fibre and twisted to make rope, or jeverdi, which is used to web local furniture such as charpoi (cot), peeda (low stool), and mudda (stool). Roadside shops selling these items are spotted all along the highway leading up to Garh Mukteshwar.
