    Baskets of Manjitha have complicated geometrical designs, reflecting the artistic skill and aesthetic sensibility of the artisans. Tall wild grass growing along canals and ponds in the village is torn apart and used as the raw material for these baskets. Locally it is referred to as moonja/ chirwa/ pharra. In Manjitha, baskets filled with grains, rice and pulses are given to each bride at her wedding, as is customary. Other than that, these baskets make for great storage options (for grains, animal food etc.) in the backyards of rural homes. Whereas the men take care of their farmlands (some even go to work a job in the city of Lucknow), the women look after daily household chores. When they get done with that, they engage themselves in the crafts of basketry and pankha making. Their crafts are a reflection of their creativity, aesthetics, finesse and love for colour!
