Jhajjar Pottery Terracotta Craft Haryana

Jhajjar district's kasera pottery community produces terracotta water pots, storage vessels, and diyas on kick-wheels using alluvial clay from seasonal Sahibi river deposits. Jhajjar's potters supply rural households with matkas and surahis for water storage, and the festival of Diwali creates peak demand for diya lamps that potters produce in tens of thousands from October to November. The pottery tradition in Jhajjar connects to the broader Haryana plain kasera craft network; potters travel to village mandis and melas selling their wares directly, maintaining a direct farmer-to-artisan exchange economy.
