everything originating in the rural, the roots, aesthetics, mythology, arts,
handicrafts, natural lifestyles and so on. A strong and extensive oral tradition,
handicrafts tradition and artistic tradition are the tributaries of folklore. All
traditional knowledge and art have origin in nature and its diverse resources. Of
