Initially a skill possessed by women, it gradually evolved into an income-generating activity, thanks to interventions from local NGOs like Adithi. Despite dwindling involvement due to stagnation in design innovation and market limitations, there remains a demand for Sikki products, valued not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for cultural significance. However, dwindling sales and artisan engagement have put the craft at risk of extinction. Currently, there are an estimated 1500 skilled artisans, but many are no longer actively involved, contributing to a decline in annual turnover.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMethod of Production:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSikki grass, abundant in the wetlands of North Bihar, is harvested by women from village farms. The upper flowering portion is discarded, leaving behind stems that are sliced and shaved for crafting. These products are sold at weekly markets or by itinerant sellers, with pricing based on fistful measurements rather than weight. Munj grass, used for crafting baskets, is readily available and durable. Sikki grass, dyed in various colors, is fashioned into articles ranging from baskets to deity figurines. Women artisans, following traditional techniques, craft products year-round, adapting to seasonal needs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Technique of making Sikki products:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eCrafting typically involves shaping forms with coiled khar grass, encased in softer Sikki grass, often incorporating motifs from local traditions. Technical enhancements include dyeing grass with fast colors. The coiling technique, using a thick needle called Takua, is prevalent, especially in constructing sculptural forms. Products are built up using coils, with women employing a 6-inch-long needle-shaped iron tool called Takua, made of lac. No threads or cords are utilized, maintaining the authenticity of the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniqueness:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSikki products stand out for their coiling technique, wherein long grass is wired and stitched together with Pasikki, creating a sturdy framework.
