The Handicraft - Kare-e-Kalamdani. 
Naqqashi refers to the centuries old hand painting of Kar-e kalamdani (paper machie) goods. The hand crafted items are skilfully painted by artisans who have intergenerational training. There are many steps in the process, creating pulp from recycled paper, molding and finishing the shapes, hand painting and varnishing.
