Walnut wood carving is a GI registered #KashmirCraft. GI holograms on hand-carved products at PTQCC will boost sales in niche markets. Better packaging, ICING ON THE CAKE. Dar Saab is a Padma Shri Award recipient. @diprjk @OfficeOfLGJandK @CM_JnK @Surinderch55 @GreaterKashmir.

The FOCUS of @dohhkmr is as much on non-textile crafts of #Kashmir as it is on textiles. Walnut Carving and Willow Wicker remain Valley's timeless crafts, embedded in our rich heritage and culture. @diprjk @OfficeOfLGJandK @CM_JnK @Surinderch55 @GreaterKashmir.
Tucked away in my office corner, I stumbled upon an unnoticed hidden gem! 👇.Unveiling it revealed breathtaking walnut carvings intertwined with rich willow wicker - a true artisan marvel. Perfect blend of 2 crafts that deserves to grace every home. @diprjk @dohhkmr

BUEYRS of #KashmirHandicrafts URGED not to get coaxed by online portals offering VERY LOW price/ rebate on Authentic Handmade Silk Carpets or any other crafted product from Kashmir. They can be fakes. NOTICES issued to @jewelcarpet & @amazonIN .@diprjk @OfficeOfLGJandK @CM_JnK.
NOTICES issued 2 @jewelcarpet & @amazonIN for misbranding #KashmirCrafts .They must b crazy offering 50% rebates on cheap FAKES in name of Authentic Kashmiri Handmade Silk Carpet for ₹2,160 & ₹2,630. UNACCEPTABLE. Brings disrepute 2 artisans & high value items.@diprjk @dohhkmr
