Introduction

There is really something about living a life that is close to nature, perhaps the way humans were meant to live. Using natural fibers for clothing, and fruits of the nature for decor, and utility are some of the examples, even though such use is temporal or short-lived. We have compiled this exhibition to illustrate how the Indians have blended natural products in their daily living -- using cow-dung  as an antiseptic, and leaves as plates for eating.
