Madhupur

The place is famous for its glorious Loha Shaka Pala Bangles used in weeding.You can buy the famous Santhal handicrafts, garments, paintings and other hand made ethnic things,cheap at its best. Try to make friday part of your visit, it is the local 'haat baar' or market day when all the artisans from surrounding villages come and sell their ware. Good picks among them are hand beaten iron gardening equipment, hand beaten kadai wok. One more cute thing is a baby cooking toy kit made of burnt or sun dried clay. they come in various sizes and complexities complete with a packaging of a closed date leaf basket. Very nice gift except that the kid who you want to impress may not really appreciate it as it fails to compete with today's glinting plastic monster trucks with LED s flashing.
