arts and crafts are concerned and has turned out a good competitor in
this creative field just like any other art enriched state of India. It

in many artistic crafts that have attained commercial proportions. They
make excellent souvenirs for tourists. Goan handicrafts include Creative
Pottery, Shell Work, Furniture, Brass Work, Bamboo Work, Papier-Mache,
etc. These items are crafted by professional artisans in their ethnic ambience, and also by artisans working at the arts and crafts complex run by the government. They are sold through various handicraft emporia and all major tourist spots. The art and craft of Goa is the product of the aesthetic blend of Portuguese and Indian cultures.
