"If there is paradise on earth, it's here, it's here, and it's here" - by Emperor Jehangir.
These were the spontaneous words of Emperor Jehangir when he first set foot in the beautiful valley of Kashmir. The presence of nature is overwhelmingly inspiring, particularly when it is at it's beautiful best like here in the valley of Kashmir. No wonder the people of the people of the vale have been instinctively inclined towards a mode of expression that standards out as an enticing testimony to their love of nature fittingly called handicrafts. While the poets relish its influence to wax eloquent on the most delicate of sentiments, artisans swear by it to give actual form to their creative zeal and come up with the interesting expressions - the Kashmir handicrafts.
