These mudha were recorded at the residence of a craftsperson in the Farrukhnagar village, which is an important craft cluster where mudha are made. These mudha along with several others were made just a few days ago and were ready to be sold. While the frames and body were made in the traditional way, the seat was woven using brightly coloured nylon ropes.
