The increasing interest of tourist in products of local artists make traditional handicrafts in many regions of the world back into favor. When going on vacation to an exotic country, every tourist dreams of getting to know a foreign culture and bringing unique and original souvenirs – a work of traditional art is certainly considered as such. Colorful, hand-woven and dyed fabrics are a popular souvenir from India. Nevertheless, travelers should pay attention to souvenirs offered on numerous stalls – many of them are factory-produced fakes of handicrafts, which have nothing to do with traditional culture.
