Tamil Nadu has a distinctive tradition in fine arts and
exquisite crafts. The origin of most of the arts and crafts tradition of
the state of Tamil Nadu can be related to the influence
of temple economy that prevailed for a long time in this part of the
country. The rich temples of the region not only gave patronage to the
craftsmen but constant construction work in these temples helped the
craftsmen regularly upgrade their knowledge and experience. Today, the
craft traditions of the state have developed into full-fledged industries
in themselves.
