The Anguri and Pinjara Style Furniture
The vintage of the city along with its cultural mix, the handicrafts of Saharanpur has evolved into a unique blend of Mughal and Indian style. The artifacts excavated during archaeological findings only prove the most beautiful and blooming period of the art of Saharanpur. The wooden entrance doors and the decorative designs and motifs on the ancient Havelis (bungalow of landlords and kings) are executed by the Hindu artisans with intricate geometrical forms, floral decorations and the unique Anguri (entwined grapevines) style. The lattice work which is accomplished by Pinjara (fret-saw perforation) technique was developed in Persia and adopted by the immigrant craftsmen in Saharanpur and is still used to manufacture the artistic screens at Saharanpur.
