Prayagraj has a thriving industry of cane and bamboo furniture. Local artisans create intricate sofa sets, chairs ('Mudhas'), lampshades, and racks. The bamboo is treated to be termite-resistant and bent into beautiful curves.
The craftsmanship is visible in the tightness of the weave and the smoothness of the finish. You can often see artisans working on the roadside near the Katra market.
These items are not only aesthetic but also promote a plastic-free lifestyle.
