Gourd Craft in Mizoram has its roots in traditional Mizo household practices where bottle gourds (Lagenaria siceraria) were dried, hollowed, and used as water containers, storage vessels, and ritual objects. For generations, Mizo tribes have cultivated gourds not only as food but also as a functional craft material. Over time, the dried gourds evolved into decorated containers, musical instruments, jewellery, lampshades, masks, and ornamental items. The craft blends natural shapes with carving, burning, etching, and painting techniques, showcasing the rich cultural aesthetic of Mizoram.
