For example, Bhadohi, Allahabad, Gorakhpur and Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh are the areas where baskets are made. The Sarpat & Moonj grass grows wild in the river banks. They are long. Further, they are particularly used for the purpose of basket weaving when they dry out. Subsequently, the grass becomes lighter in colour making it easy to take on other colours as well. For example, it is a long & thin grass that lends itself to weaving.

In other words, the grass is dyed with natural colours and beautiful products are made from it. Colourful baskets in a variety of colours and shapes is made with this grass.
