World Class Inteicate Carving from Saharanpur | Saharanpur Furniture by Wooden Emporio

The decline in demand and supplies has badly affected many traditional crafts. Woodcarving in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh is one of them. Artisans and traders in Saharanpur tussle to make ends meet. TwoCircles.net correspondent Musheera Ashraf documents their struggle.
By Musheera Ashraf, TwoCircles.net
Saharanpur: Saharanpur is internationally famous for its woodwork and carving factories. These large and small units support the livelihood of more than two lakh workers, including craftsmen, labourers and suppliers. The two-month COVID-19 lockdown that entailed all establishments selling or producing non-essential items be shut, has greatly impacted its 400-year-old wood carving industry. Although the restrictions are being lifted over the past month, things are not the same. Craftsmen, labour class and suppliers are in debt and are struggling to earn their livelihood.
Woodcraft work in Saharanpur is spread all over the city. Khata Kheri being the main hub of manufacturers is known as a wooden city. Apart from Khata Kheri, the woodwork traders and artisans have their units at Habibagarh and Pul Kambohan.
With the dust from wood cutting surrounding him, Irshad sits in his small shop at Pul Kambohan turning rectangular wood planks into round table supports.
It has been 6 days since Irshad returned to work. Before the lockdown, he had gone to visit his sister in New Delhi and while he was there a nation-wide COVID-19 lockdown was enforced to prevent its spread. With all transport shut, this forced him to stay in New Delhi for 4 months.
“I knew there is no work back at home, so I preferred to stay in Delhi with my sister’s family,” he says, and added, “Lockdown has just reflected the intentions of this government.”
Irshad has no expectations from the government. “Why will they help us, it is our responsibility to survive harsh times,” he said.
“In Delhi, I came to know how this government has taken advantage of pandemic and targeted a particular community and also small scale workers like us,” he goes on.
Facing a shortage of both demand and customers, Irshad shares how his friends who were working as woodcraft workers have decided to change their profession and many of them are selling vegetables.
“In the vegetable market they can make money consistently, he says. Previously, he used to get 5-6 orders every week but now he has received only 2 orders since he returned to work. Irshad believes that it will take years to come back to normal.

On 6th Nov I had travelled to Saharanpur and went to Rahat's store. So, I found the store different in many ways: 1. The detailing in the products is very good. 2. Work is very neat and finishing is very good. 3. Rahat and his brother - they both are very courteous and humble. I'll be going again to Saharanpur again, hope to buy good stuff from Rahat. Thank you Claptrap for introducing this beautiful store 👍
