It also became the famous centre of by Aryan philosophies, commercial and industrial hub for its silk and muslin fabrics, ivory works, perfumes, sculptures Prof. Bibhudutta Baral and Manasa K.

The word Kashi is the derivation from the word ‘Kas’ which means to ‘Shine’. It is also said that, it is this place where the Lord and Parvathi stood as the beginning of time that is considered as the original ground created by them. Varanasi is a city of classical, traditional, cultural, sanctified place by religion and also glorified by mythologies. Thus, since ancient time it has attracted a large number of pilgrims and worshippers. During 6th century BCE, the capital of Kashi i.e was the first place where taught Source: about for the first time. As an outcome of all this, Varanasi remained as a centre of educational, religious and http://www.dsource.in/resource/wooden-toys-varana- artistic activities as shown and distinguished by Chinese traveler Hsuan-tsang when he visited the place during 635 CE si-uttar-pradesh/introduction and he also mentioned that, the city (Varanasi) got extended about 5 km along the western bank of the Ganges.

This hopefully helps the toy business to set back and surely increase the demand for it and toy market might progress as the Indian and foreign visitors tend to visit the show.

Initially it was Corea wood which was mainly used for manufacturing toys. This wood was predominantly used as the wood was soft and it could be shaped easily by giving fine finishing to the toys. Before 1983 this wood was available easily but then Government gave an order to private outworkers to cut down Corea trees and these workers started illegal activities by cutting down teak wood. As a result of this, the administration cancelled the contracts and banned cutting of Corea wood. Since then the toy makers of Varanasi started to use Sheesham, Eucalyptus and Liptus wood to make toys, which are comparatively hard, wood and very tough to carve. But as the industry started depending on the Liptus wood the industry started suffering from economy. The cost of Corea wood costed Rs.600 per quintal where- as the liptus wood costs INR.1200 per quintal, which is exactly the double the amount. Also the costs of sealing wax, which is used for making these toys have gone up, and also the cost of colors and dyes used for painting the toys have become double just within a year. The insufficient power supply has also affected the business majorly by worsening the production of toys. D’source 3 Digital Learning Environment for Design - www.dsource.in

Design Resource Earlier nearly 50 pieces of toys were made in a day but at present condition only 15-20 pieces are prepared because of the inadequate power supply. Due to all these serious issues, the wooden toy maker informed they are not paid with Wooden Toys - Varanasi, the proper wages. As the production of wooden toys making has increased by 50 % in just a year it is adding more Uttar Pradesh trouble to the artisans by discouraging them to do wood art. Earlier this industry fed thousands of houses of Varanasi.
