Mhow's shadow work, smocked gowns, and goat leather products

Mhow, in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh (central India) offers a lot of goods for the eager shopper. You can pick up prettily embroidered suit material, sarees and little girls' dresses. The place is famous for smocked needlework - a thriving legacy from the colonial days - and 'shadow embroidery'. Even non-shoppers can have a fill just window-shopping!




These are artefacts made of goat leather - penstands, peg-table base, keyholder, toys
