Kumbharwada
Kumbharwada, Dharavi’s pottery district, offers a captivating insight into one of India’s oldest crafts. Here, skilled artisans—known as "Kumhars"—create beautiful hand-made clay pots, vases, and more using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Visitors can witness the entire pottery-making process, from shaping the clay to glazing and firing, and even try their hand at crafting their own piece. This vibrant community not only preserves an ancient art form but also contributes to a thriving local economy, making it a must-visit for travelers interested in authentic craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
