About Sikki Grass Art

Sikki grass craft is a traditional art form indigenous to Mithila, Bihar, known for its intricate designs and eco-friendly nature. This centuries-old craft has a rich history, rooted in tradition and folklore, making it a significant part of India's cultural heritage. This beautiful handicraft has also been recognized as a Geographical Indication (GI) product by the Government of India that preserves and promotes the traditional knowledge and skills of the region.

History and Tradition

The tradition of Sikki grass craft can be traced back to the Vedic period, with references found in Hindu mythology and folklore. According to the legend, goddess Sita used Sikki grass to weave beautiful mats and baskets during her exile in the forest. Inspired by her craftsmanship, the local communities began experimenting with Sikki grass, eventually developing it into a refined art form.

Methods and Style

Sikki grass, also known as golden grass or Sarkanda, is harvested during the monsoon season. The stems are split into fine strands and then dried for 20-25 days under the sun to give their signature golden hues. Craftsmen often dye it using natural colors like purple, green, yellow, or magenta. It is then woven into various shapes and designs.

Sikki grass craft involves intricate weaving techniques passed down through generations. Skilled artisans meticulously weave the dried grass stems to create a wide range of products, including decorative items, household utilities, jewelry, and toys. Only a small metal tool known as ‘Takua’ is used in this handicraft. The craft is characterized by its simplicity, yet intricate designs, often featuring motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and daily life. The final products are often decorated with colorful threads, beads, and mirrors. This ancient craft not only preserves cultural traditions but also provides a livelihood for countless artisans across Bihar.
