The village used to be famous for its pottery works. Earlier, when there was widespread use of pots & utensils made from the clay, most of the people of this village used to be potters. But now, only few families are holding this profession as their living.
Our journey started with a short boat trip to enter the village. We explored the place through the narrow alleys between pottery residences. Since it was Friday afternoon, most of the craftsmen were found resting. Though we saw a good number of potters working in their regular way.
