Folk Crafts : Folk Crafts usually comprise of a wide range of objects that represent the traditional and cultural values of different social groups. Folk craft is generally a family-oriented profession carried down over several generations. Each succeeding generation uses established techniques and styles of a particular region or culture. Folk craft includes not only commonly used objects, such as tools and costumes, but decorative items such as jewellery as well. People produce folk craft for their own use or for a limited clientele. A good example is folk embroidery, which is carried out in some Indian villages. Each region in fact, each caste or community, may have its own distinctive style and design.

Religious Crafts: Since the early ages, every aspect of human life in India has been influenced by religion. This fact is corroborated by the presence of many religious centres all over the country. Various religious crafts developed around these religious centres. Craft items are connected with religious institutions and related ceremonies. Individual religious centres specialize in particular craft items. For example, Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, is associated with weaving cloth for religious ceremonies, particularly silk material. Similarly, Puri in Orissa, which is a popular pilgrim centre, is connected with a craft like patachitra (painting on cloth).
Commercial Crafts : Commercial crafts are produced by specialized craftsmen of a particular clan possessing specific skills and complete mastery over their craft. The tools and techniques vary for each clan. Commercial crafts are available for individual as well as retail sale.
