Experiences

A sustainable cultural oasis of intricate wood and stone sculptures in the wilderness of West Garo Hills.

Handum Marak’s wood and stone carvings celebrate the rich motifs and practices of Garo culture. From abstract representations and detailed statues to the celebration of local wildlife, every corner of the village is adorned with intricate designs, created from locally sourced materials. Some of the sculptures are skillfully integrated into a living tree, crafting a harmonious fusion of contemporary art and nature, without disrupting the natural balance. The Amindagre Area People Welfare Association was formed to help keep the town clean and support local artists skilled in wood and stone carving.
