Balkhar Ceramics

A famous handicraft center, known mainly for its unique pottery technique.
In Balkhar, there is a living legend about the first pot maker named Kalkuchchi. One day, the poor man sat on a lakeshore brooding on how to move on. All of a sudden he saw kids making something out of lakeside clay. Kalkuchchi decided to mould something too. A beautiful jar made by his hands gave rise to the well-known Balkhar handicraft. Having mastered the art of pottery-making, Kalkuchchi taught his fellow villagers but for some reason it was women who made the most beautiful and elegant jars. This is how, as the legend says, the famous ceramics-making by females started in Balkhar.
